About 75 cousins gathered at Marilyn Dearinger's for the cousin's party. I (Bev) took all the RSVPs, and made the food assignments. We had honey baked ham (by the way, two 9-pound half hams will serve 75), and a large buffet of salads, breads, cheeses and fruit. Followed, of course, by a smaller dessert buffet. Marilyn's house easily handled us all. Her home was a fall-feast-for the eyes, as she had tables set up in three different locations, with two buffet lines. All tables had fall decorations and candles. Oh yes, the most important thing of all, Bev is flying solo on this posting! We took Aunt Verl and Joyce (Verl was an hour off on her party preparation, but we were pretty close to an on-time arrival.) Joyce and I helped with clean up during the evening, and we had so much fun talking, we stayed almost to the very end. We didn't arrive home until about 11:30. I wish I'd taken more pictures, but things got busy in the kitchen.

It was really fun to see some of the cousins. It makes me remember how much fun everyone is. I love seeing pictures. It is really fun for the kids to see you. They get really excited.
You forgot to mention Art's political debate. ;)
