RAIN !

This morning as we were getting ready for church, it started to rain!!! A LOT! it didn't last too long, but it was a surprise! and it cooled the temperature down some .......
Dougs parents , Gene and Jeanne, have been gone on vacation to Michigan where they went to a family reunion ....it was the Mc Millen Family Reunion that they have faithfully every 4 years. Pete and Sheila McMillen are cousins of Jeannes and we know them as Uncle Pete and Aunt Sheila....they have always been very special to the Poe family. Pete is known as the Marble man and Sheila is a Art Glass expert .....they have been collectible glass and marble dealers for many years . One summer Doug and I went to Michigan to visit them for a week.....their place was very cool......the guesthouse is a cabin....it was a lot of fun.......Pete is licenced to do firework shows and when we were there he put on a very cool firework display.......I remember the awesome sound of the big sky out there in the wide open where their property is.....it was like nothing I had every heard........

This weekend started out with us selling our 5th wheel on Friday Morning.......we sold it to a couple that came all the way from Northern California!! Then on Friday evening , Gene, Jeanne , Dougs Brother Dennis and his wife Cyndi and two of there kids Alyssa and Christopher came over for dinner......then on Saturday Doug ,Julia and I went out to breakfast.....Alyssa came over later on Saturday morning ....Julia and her played together all afternoon.

My aunt Memory is visiting for a few days and is staying with my Grandma...Memory, Grandma and Eliu came over and brought an apple pie and ice cream and we played with our new Wii game!! The Wii from Nintendo is very cool......we played the bowling game and it is like having our own bowling alley in the house!! Even Grandma played!!

....then back to this morning.......after church (which was amazing ) we came home and Gene and Jeanne came over and we played Wii Bowling and also a good game of hand and foot....( a card game) Jeanne and I played against Doug and Gene and......well..... they didn't win!...sorry guys...better luck next time!



Here is Grandma Bowling with the Wii!
