Reed was home in early August so we had some friends and relatives over to our house. Shown below with the guest of honor were his great-aunt Geneva and grandma Irene.
There was plenty of food and laughter that day.
Cousins Brian, Jaylia, and Jenna, and aunt Franci chat with Geneva and Reed.
Cousin Lyndon, wife Janet, and their grandson Orrin came from Maddock [and Spearfish] for the event.
Cousin Barb is immediately put to work cleaning the pool.
Lyndon threatens to "help" Barb get closer to her work.
Firemann joins us in a pose with Reed.
Soon after Reed returned to Bamburg, Germany, he was delighted to have visitors from the north.
