31 July 2009 (Friday)

Today was another day of catching up with friends and family, mostly with my many wonderful cousins!
At lunch today, Karen Graehler came to lunch with her three sons. Joining us at Cousin Judith English's house was another cousin, John Lippy, who stopped by.

In the afternoon Charlie drove his sister Ann to an art class she attends every other week. Today Julie Shaw Cole was helping her with a sewing project.

In the evening it was another gathering, mostly of cousins, but also including Charlie's last remaining aunt, Phyllis Lippy.

Charlie Dittmeier's father was one of ten children and so Charlie grew up with lots and lots of first cousins who still enjoy getting together.
