Back to the Future

My huge family back in Ohio are having a family reunion next month. My Mothers family is huge! So far over 350 people have rsvp'd. ( That doesn't include the family members who don't know what rsvp means.)

The last reunion was about 7 years ago but this one is going to be special as the older generation is fading.

Above is a photo from over 40 years ago at a family reunion. In the center is my Grandfather. He is shown with his first 50 grandchildren. Next to my Grandfather is his first grandchild and she is holding his 50th grandchild. There were more grandchildren since this photo and I think the last count is close to 70 grandkids. (I am in the front row with my hands up near my ears.) I am hoping to get a better copy of this photo from my cousins.

You can imagine the progeny since then. This reunion will be attended my many of Grandpa's great and great, great grandchildren.

It should be an interesting event. I plan to share some photos and stories later.

Fashionista that I am...

I went to happy hour with a friend after work last night. When I got home I was a little buzzed and also too lazy to cook dinner. I announced that we were having KFC tonight and that I would run out and pick up dinner.

When I came home I put the chicken on the counter and said to my husband that I would be right back as I wanted to change my clothes. Smart*ss that he is asked me if I was putting on my chicken-eating pants.

CHICKEN-EATING PANTS! The nerve.

Chicken tastes so much better when you are black and blue. Or so I've heard.
