This past weekend was an enjoyable one for me. For those who "really" know me, I'm usually the type that likes to hide in my house and not get out and "socialize" much. Hmmmm....wonder which side of the family I get that from!!!! Dad? Anyway, my Mom has been planning a reunion all summer for the Burgener's. Her 3 brothers and 1 sister and herself and their families. As many as were able got together on Saturday, August 28th. We had planned to have it at Mom and Dad's, since that is the house that all those "kids" grew up in. But just in case, Mom reserved the church house in town, and it's a good thing. Boy did it rain that day!!!! I'm not quite sure how many were able to be there, but about 50. There was Uncle Bill and his wife Betty, who are living in Rexburg right now. They go to Oregon in the winter time. Uncle Sid and his fiance, Sasha, were there from Tempe, Arizona. Aunt Annette May was there from Clovis, California. Her husband, Ross, was there part of the time. He had a class reunion over in Jackson at the same time. Uncle Dale and his wife Melvina were there from Bremerton, Washington. Then there was Mom and quite a few of our family. Bill's kids, Valyn and Kelly and some of their kids were there. I think that everyone really had a pretty good time! I will post some pictures of the event.
Then on Sunday, my friend/cousin celebrated her 50th birthday and wanted to have a party. So we went up to Teton Valley to her new house and saw tons of old friends there. It was actually really nice visiting and seeing that I'm not the only one that the gray hair is showing through and the wrinkles are getting the best of. Heh!
So, now I can crawl back into my hole in the wall and hibernate.

OH MY GOODNESS! I really missed the fun! YES! The picutres are really nice!
Your reunion looks successful and fun! I saw Velyn and thought "She looks familiar" and then saw her name and realized why. It's been 30 years since I've seen her!
Triplets! Oh my. Too cute.
Just wondering, does the friend you went to see for her birthday party have a name? hehe
