Another year and it's already time for the Little's family reunion. When I received the email from my cousin confirming the date, I sent out a few emails of my own to sisters and nieces that live close enough to attend. My own kids inform me that they're not interested in arranging a vacation around this...Melanie because Xander's in school making it harder to travel, and Nathan because, other than him not getting vacation time right now, would rather save his vacations home for important occasions he deems worthy. Yes...disgruntled, but do understand... We have both sides of the family's reunions during this month...we both want the kids to be there, but know that they won't be unless something unusual happens to cause it. LOL Anyway....have heard from the pregnant niece that her due date is too soon for her to take a chance...HUH...well...hummm...guess this is true..where does the time fly to??? How so quickly?? Denise should show up...as she's made special plans to get down to this area of the state with her boys to visit with both sides of her family during this weekend. I don't think I even mentioned it to Penny this year...she used to be more aware of them coming up, but with me forgetting to mention it lately, and us not talking with each other in about a month...not surprised she'll be clueless...too late now, I guess. She's super busy.
I should be busy, but I'm busier avoiding what I have to do than actually doing it! Today, of course...I should be cooking....and, I have 5 boxes from the dining room that I need to go through and divide into proper boxes...save to put away, save to move, box to give away.
OK...back to my thought at hand...what foods?? I'm thinking maybe two different pies...one apple and one cream...either butterscotch, chocolate, or maybe buttermilk. Then...need to cut up cantaloupe...one batch to take to the church's breakfast...the rest to the reunion. Then...at least one veggie...what? Salad? or, maybe beans?...baked or green? Maybe scalloped potatoes? ARGH....sigh...am not going to do deviled eggs as big sis called and that's what she's bringing...she's needing me to bring my platter for her to use. I actually have the insert chilling and the box set out where I can see it.
OK...gotta get off here and get something underway...bye y'all...

I remember going to a few of those! I think it was the first time I learned what a cow patty was. lol. maybe that wasn't a reunion. I need to catch up with my blogging! Ack!

Yes, I do remember you going with us to a couple of family events...not sure they all were reunions, but some were. Cow patties...most likely just a day out at the farm instead of a reunion! LOL
I've got to get your new blog address on here....I've missed keeping up!
