About a year ago the family board (my sisters mostly) decided that we should all meet in Orlando for a family reunion of sorts. Well we pulled it off and though it will probably be the last time because of our swelling numbers, we had a great time. My Mother, bless her heart, arrived with several surprises. As you can see below, her carry-on consisted of a box of peaches, three gallon-sized bags of garden tomatoes and a bag of grapes also from her garden. She didn't tell my Dad what was in her suitcase until they were already on the plane.Less shocking was the red-polka dot wrapped gifts for all the kiddos: matching red crocs, princess bags (Winnie-the-Pooh for the boys), matching pjs and matching swimming suits. Love my Mom!
Our week in Orlando was divided between the pirate themed pool at our hotel and the Disney theme parks: Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. It was so fun to see the grandkids playing with their cousins; there's nothing like family.
Raised in a small South Dakota mining town where he learned the value of a sturdy pickaxe and native tubers, Scott is a man's man who knows the meaning of the word testosterone. Apart from devouring freshly slain beasts of the forest, Scott enjoys sharpening his tools, lifting heavy objects, and throwing a ball at a hoop suspended ten feet off of the ground. He also enjoys Romantic Era poetry and Italian cooking.
