June 5-7, 2009
We held the Whiting Family Reunion at our house during the first weekend in June. I'm not sure when the tradition started, but whenever Ernie (the youngest) turns the "next decade" old (i.e., from age 39-40, or 49-50) the boys all get together for a reunion. They do it that way because that is when they are all in the same decade. Ernie turned the big 5-0 this year, so it was time to get together. Typically, the weather during the first week in June is cool. This year was no exception. The weather forecasters all predicted a "June Gloom", and they were right! We were able to have an outdoor fire. Notice that we are all wearing jackets and coats. The fire felt good! We cranked out some great homemade strawberry ice cream using Stan's old-fashioned ice cream maker. It was delicious!
This is a picture of Ernie warming himself by the fire. Doesn't the moon look eerie? Lee knows how to take great pictures!
On Sunday morning, we got together for a photograph. Here's a picture of all those who were able to attend.
