F is for Fall and Family and …

Citrus Heights, CA – Sister’s House

Fall and Family get together for a Family Get Together…hard to beat that!  It has been many years since everyone of my 3 brothers (all older than I) and 2 sisters (both younger than I) and mom and dad all got together…and unfortunately, due to a wedding in the Santa Cruz area where one of my brother’s was the caterer, my brother Bob (#2 in age) was unable to be here for it.  However…we got him locked in to catering the Burdick Christmas Party in December…and the oldest brother (Jim) has committed to be there…so this Fall Party was just a prelude to the family getting together. 

   

Some of the family was inside, others outside, with many going back and forth.  The two pictures above include two ladies who are 190 years old collectively!.  Here is another picture of them to the right.  Fern is in the Blue sitting in the wheelchair…she is my Aunt Florence’s mother, and is 95 years old.  Arny’s mother, Euleda, is sitting in the big chair…she turns 95 in December. Toss in Mom and Dad who are on the couch, and well...that takes us back to the time of Columbus!  😜

I won’t bore everyone who is not family with the names and relationships of everyone else…let’s just say that we all had a good time, great food, and we are looking forward to the December gathering where both Burdick families will get together at a local church that is typically used for this type of gathering. 

Got an email from Yosemite Pines RV Park (Resort).  We stayed there back in 2012.  Yosemite is “ONE” of my favorite all time National Parks…and I have been debating with myself if we should go back there.  We talked about it a few days ago, and with the email coming yesterday, it seems like it is the thing to do.  The email was for a 3 for 2 deal…3 nights for the price of 2, October only.  “IF” we go, it will probably be next week. 

Stay tuned…
