Good Morning. Since the Family Reunion is over I'm going to try and switch the name of this blog over to mccartyparty.blogspot.com or tomandpammccarty.blogspot.com. Not sure if it will let me, but in case you're looking at this now, then you try and look again next week and it's gone, email us for the new blog address. Hugs, pam
This week-end was Stansbury Days. Always lots of fun to see everyone. Chelsea and her frog Sir Jumps Alot won the Frog Jumping Contest out of 42 entries.
If you're sick of grandbaby pictures & fish, you may want to take this blog off your favorites, because from now on that's probably all you'll see. xoxoxo
Gavin came over yesterday and couldn't figure out where eveyone went. He asked: Where's Gpa Bud's Heavy House? Where's Lacey? I miss her. Where's Gma Frances? Where's Hot Lips(Roxie)? Thanks again to everyone that came. We had so much fun. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Next time I need my mood lifted I'm going to call Aunt Sandy and have her tell me some of her stories. I do have to apologize tho. She was being called a blonde because she told Roxie 100 people would be at the reunion. And I re read my blog & it does say "We are having close to 100 so they may be in shock when they get here." However in the sentence before I was talking about the weather. Even the guy at the hotel told Roxie "we haven't had this happy of a bunch in a long time!" Laughter is the Best Medicine. Hugs & Kisses. Glad you all got home safe. pam
