Family Reunion Summer Cooking

Summer Cooking Loud cheerful sounds are heard under a pavilion as family has united for a family reunion. Always held in shorts and swimsuit summer weather in a park surrounded by a forest of evergreens and a snaking river. It's always potluck, so there is always plenty of food to go around. Deviled eggs, a variety of pasta salads, and mounds of potato salads, barbecue hamburgers and hot dogs, fried chicken, smoked venison, fish, and wild hog. A choice of wonderful, sinful, yummy desserts, and ice coolers full of a variety of drinks. Family reunions, a great time to see both familiar and new faces and catch up on the latest gossip of everyone's lives. 7/2/2018 Poetry Contest: A Poem NA'd in a July Contest (Judged July 1-24, 2018) Sponsored by: Dear Heart a.k.a.

Jan, it was. This was when I lived in Oregon and my boys were young. We would set out a variety of games like horseshoes, volleyball, badminton, besides the children would play in the children's area, and then there was the river to swim.
