It is so hard to believe that the 24th of July has been here and gone already. It was a very nice day. We went to the parade and enjoyed it very much. All the floats were nice and quite a variety of them. The theme was 100 years of History so there was a lot of different ones. It only lasted 1 hour and that was just right. After the parade we went over to Porter Park and had an "Orr" reunion. It has been years since we have had one of those. There was about 284 people there. I didn't know some of them but it was fun to see some of the others. This was the posterity from my Grandma and Grandpa Orr-Joseph and Caroline. And as far as the number of posterity they have it was amaxing. There are 1841 of us just from those 2. Wow!!!
Our family, my Dads we have over 350. Hard to believe.
After the reunion we took the grandkids to ride the carousel. They rode it twice and loved it. Then, John and I went home and had a nap under the fans where it was cooler. Later that night we took Tiff's kids and went to the rodeo and fireworks. It was a fun day! Now all the work begins with the garden produce and raspberries. It's that time of year. Hope everyone puts a lot away for winter. We can be just like the squirrels storing their nuts away. Ha Ha!

Pretty funny mom. We are sure glad we got you to remind us to be a little squirrel and store up for the winter. Let the fun begin. That is amazing about the numbers you shared about the Orr Reunion. I had no idea.
Bring on the canning! Thanks for taking the kids to the rodeo!
