I went to Elsenore over Labor day weekend to attend my families 50th anniversary, where I was able to spend time with the worlds most fantastic people. My family reunions are the best place to be if you ever feel sad or bad about yourself or anything else. Which is how it should be, families build you up. Once I was there, my cousin Olivia and I spent the night at my aunt, Betty's, house and in the morning attended the yearly parade, meeting a new friend on the way. =]

Now, none of you have been to my aunts house. She and her husband collect things. I'm not sure of what I should call that...but Olivia and I had fun looking at all of these kept treasures! 

Ok, so not many of you will probably care much about this but I thought this pot was adorable. It expresses, both, my love for chickens and plants all at once. Who could ask for more?

While venturing through the yard full of such things, Olivia and I spotted an abandoned house behind the property that we immediately needed to visit. So what did we do? We found out who owned it, got permission to use the golf cart, and went on over! It was a scarry experience, just the two of us girls, once we got on the front porch. So we left and brought Uncle Doug and Aunt Sussie (Olivia's parents) with us this time! (Safety first, kids.)

All of this being said, there is too much about this reunion to tell you about in one blog! More to come.
