Slept late this morning and then went and had lunch with Kelly and kids at Fish of Stroh. Then went and picked up matress for Kelsey. When we left there we drove over to Preble to register for the reunion but no one was there. We called one of the organizers and they said that when no one showed up by 5:00 pm they packed it up and went back to their motels but were meeting at the Back 40 for dinner. So, we drove to the Decatur Cemetery and visited a few graves. There were flowers on many of the Standiford graves. We then went over to the Back 40 and ate with the group. After dinner we drove over to a cousin’s house (Janet Torson) and sat around a campfire until almost 10:30. The evening really went quickly. Couldn’t believe it wsa 10:30 already. Drove back to camper and getting ready for bed but thought I would update the blog a bit before turning in.
There were flowers on many of the graves when I stopped there in April, too. By all of the stones at the plot where grandparents are and also by Uncle Paris and Aunt Hazel. So is that reunion at Preble? Is it at someone’s home or a park?
It is at the Preble Fireman’s Park Pavillion – which isn’t really a pavillion but a regular building.
