Sunrise

Reunion Lunch ~ Hobo Supper

Sunday, September 26

 

 

While enjoying my first cup of coffee, I noticed an orange sky which drew me outside.

 

 

I had to walk beyond the trees to enjoy its full beauty.

 

 

After church my stepmother’s family – the Eshlemans and Millers – were at the pavilion for lunch.

 

 

It was fun seeing everyone.

 

 

I don’t know many names of the younger generation, but can usually put names with those close to my age – or older – as both families were friends of my parents when I was young.

 

 

The doggie roast is popular at this meal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The two oldest Millers, Miriam Miller Cassel (seated in blue coat) and her brother Ernest (standing with his back to the camera) are in this picture. Their brother, Ivan, was my stepmother’s first husband, and drowned following a boating accident in the early ’70s.

It was a perfect early fall afternoon

After these families left, Cerwin and I prepared for the next group who had reserved the pavilion. It was the youngest married couple’s Sunday school class from our church.

They unrolled freezer paper on top of the plastic tablecloths and enjoyed a hobo supper.

 

 

Instead of plates, they put the food on the freezer paper.

 

 

It looked like lots of fun.

After the meal they went for a hayride.
