Meyer Siblings at Play Narrative

June 30 to July 9 we enjoyed visits from all of Lee's siblings and their spouses; Ron and Lou from New Berlin, WI; John and Gerri from San Diego, CA; Al and Shirley from Menomonee Falls, WI; and Bruce and Gloria from Lake Mills, WI. They arrived and departed on various days and were all present for most of five days. During their visit :
Bruce and Timm, after an exciting chase, caught a tiny lizard in our house (that was a first)
we talked alot,
we reminisced,
we sunned a bit,
we laughed repeatedly,
we played some games,
the women did some shopping,
we talked some more,
we ate alot,
we did some sight seeing; the downtown Collierville square, - Corinth, Mississippi civil war museum and national cemetery, - Shiloh, Tennessee civil war battlegrounds, museum, and national cemetery, (Lou, John and Gerri even made it to Graceland and Ron, Timm and Lee joined them for a walk down Beale Street in downtown Memphis),
we watched the 4th fireworks,
we talked awhile,
we ate more,
we took a pontoon ride on Pickwick Lake, (some took a short swim)
several of the men golfed at at least three different courses in Mississippi and Tennessee,
we celebrated Gloria's retirement from teaching,
and did I mention that we talked a bit and enjoyed many good laughs.

It was sooo goood to be together and to catch up on each other's lives. I can hardly wait for next years' adventure.
