October 10, 2013. Harper, Texas. The Party Begins.

As we speak, the cousins are playing cards with my son David,  under the tent.  In another corner of the tent,  a game is being played with the young adults.  All the older folks such as us have retired for the night.   But everyone arrived today who we expected,  although two car loads of people arrived well after dark.   It is difficult to find the ranch during the day light, let alone in the pitch black of night but they made it.  Forty happy souls ate dinner together tonight.

I was asked many times today about holding this multi day celebration but it all seems so obvious when you see the happy smiles on the faces of the friends and relatives who have joined us to celebrate.   The children are having the best time of all which of course makes all the efforts worthwhile.   Our families and friends are joining us from all over North America.  We would never have these memories if we had not organized this event.  And that is why we have these celebrations.
