Weekend Frivolities

Last weekend (the extended Labor Day Weekend which lasted from Friday through Monday) was spent up at my wife's one lineage's annual family reunion. The reunion meant four days of camping, four days of no showers, huge amounts of sunscreen, a firepit, a campfire, a cake walk, a booze walk, and food in quantities and types beyond imagine. The person hosting the event's four acres of land (roughly 16,000 square meters of land) had over 75 massive RVs scattered across the property. These big behemoth homes on wheels looked much like the following samples:

Big & New RV
Used RV
Very Used RV
Pop-Up Camper Tents
Other Vehicles Present Converted into RVs #1
Other Vehicles Present Converted into RVs #2
and even an occasional
Tent

A good time was had by most everyone, and we all suffered the headaches, tummy aches, and other maladies associated with excesses of such kinds of our choosing during the event.

I believe I am going to go head to my elderly father-in-laws to check how he is recovering from the festivities and to perhaps share a few libations and bowls of pipe tobacco with him this afternoon.

P.S. Please also take a brief, but sad and heartfelt moment of remembrance for those who lost their lives as a part of the September 11, 2001 tragedy that happened 8 years ago today.
