OK, I am wishing someone would be brave and try posting to this site except me. I want to know if you contributors can actually contribute. Give me some feedback since this is the Official family website.

What A Great Time We Had!!

Reunion 2008 is history but we sure had a great time. At one time or another there were 55 attendees at Cinda's and Mike's on Saturday.

Friday night there were about 35 of us at Dot, Rick, and Aunt Millie's for BBQd hotdogs and hamburgers and all the trimmings. Their beautiful back yard was filled with the sounds of kids playing and the patio was the site of numerous conversations between cousins and aunts. Thanks Dot, Rick and Aunt Millie for your hospitality!

Saturday we gathered at Mike and Cinda's for the day -- and what a day it was! In spite of the early morning rain the day was beautiful! Even perfect! The "usual" events returned -- eating, visiting, eating, raffle, white elephant, eating, visiting, egg toss, eating . . . and so the day went.

Our Vancouver Cousins did a wonderful job: fried chicken, shrimp, mac and potato salads, green salad, sweet and sour wurst, mauda kleese, blackberry cobbler, birthday cake . . . We never lack for food do we?

Connor Parrish and Aunt Mary Scheuerman were the big winners at the raffle I think. Congratulations to you both!! Of course, we were all "winners" with the white elephant event. Even Sara Scheuerman who finally divested herself of the travel calendar/clock, book lite and Black Suade cologne. Anyone know the time in Rio???

The "Parrish Kids" came through with the egg throw. Brian and Christopher outlasted all other contestants! Way to go guys, you made your mom and grandma proud!

Sunday morning found several of us (sorry, didn't count) back at Cinda and Mike's for breakfast of bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, muffins, and pancakes before most hit the road to home.

What follows are a few pictoral highlights of the weekend! Enjoy. and Thanks, again, to our Vancouver Cousins!!

Graduation Celebrations

'tis the graduation season! Al recently returned from a grandson's high school graduation in Missouri. Al, Connie and Beau flew back for the event and had a great time. Tim, the recent graduate, will be heading off to the Air Force in August.

A week from today will be the 'big day' for Nicole as she graduates from St. John-Endicott High School. Nic will be delivering the salutatory address. Congratulations Nicole.

The following weekend is Leigh Anna's day as she will graduate from Eastern Washington University. This promises to be a very busy time for the Seattle Scheuermans -- Leigh's graduation, moving out of their Spokane house and into their Spanaway house and the family reunion in Vancouver the following weekend!

Congratulations to all our graduates and jobs well done. Congrats to to Dick and Lois on the sale and purchase of homes.
