Friday July 16, 1993 Homestead
We left at 7:00 this a.m. and drove in rain all the way to Harlowton. Gary drove in at
the same time - 8:00. We parked the car at Westburg and came on in Gary's car. Rain off
and on the rest of the day. Got here about 11:00 - (had stopped at a restaurant on the
hiway for a big breakfast). No one here and the door was locked. Lois and Ray came about
twelve-thirty. By the time we got everything opened up, and unloaded people started to
arrive and kept coming until dark. It stopped raining long enough for us to eat supper
outside. L. & I slept in the outer bedroom. One big improvement over other re-unions was
that Daneil made arrangements for a "Little John" which was set up by the garage. Everything
is so beautiful - lots of flowers, and the syringas are in bloom.
Saturday July 17
More people came in. Lots of rain day and night, but we were lucky - long enough sunshine
in the morning that we could eat outside, and in the afternoon sunshine again. Started to
rain in the evening again. Just sat around in the cabin kitchen and on the porch visiting,
playing cards etc. Very congenial bunch.
Sunday July 18 - Home again
All tired out. No rain all day but it did rain some in the night. People started to leave
about noon. (Don & Terry and Duane Petersen came about then.) We had our dinner about one
o'clock, and Gary & we left about 2:00. Nice trip home, we got here about 6:00. A great
re-union. Joann and Hank weren't there. Hank had a hip replacement a couple of weeks ago.
No water problems this year - enuf rainwater for everything but drinking. And it was cool
enuf that food sat out on the porch - didn't need much refrigeration. We still had a little
ice in our cooler when we got home.
