Weekend with Cousin Dovie

Saturday, The Campground Owners, had a hot dog and hamburger picnic for all the people staying at the park.   Despite the drizzle the event went really well.   The food was good and the camaraderie was great. Dovie in the red jacket and Paul in the foreground with the hat.

Sunday evening, we gathered for a pot luck.   Again, we had a great time; it has been nice to see Dovie. We counted back and it had been over 50 years that we had seen each other.  Wow!  Time sure has flown by.
