Work and Family Reunion

It's beginning. The relatives are arriving, and pretty soon, they'll all be here and it will culminate in a large family reunion. Grandma Suzy came last week, and the rest of the Florida relatives acme today. They were here when Jessica and I came home from work. Even though Jessica got another job at a restaurant, she was off today so she came with me to tie blueberries at the local fruit farm. A couple weeks ago, I got called to go to work and weed the raspberries. After working a few days, I made some calculations and decided that if I were working alone, it would take me until roughly Labor Day to finish. So I recruited Jessica, and we continued weeding raspberries. After a couple days, we did some calculations and concluded that it would take us until roughly mid-August to finish. So we called our friends, Rachel and her brother Aaron, and they came. After a few days, we did some calculations and concluded that it would take us until roughly the Fourth of July to finish. So we called our other friends, Logan and Clayton, and between all of us, we finished tying the blueberries today. Having friends along turned it into something fun, with the fellowship, talking, laughing, motivation, and competition, even in the 80 degree, muggy weather!

At any rate, that was a tangent about work. Tomorrow night, the rest of the out-of-state relatives (those that are staying longer than just for the party) will be arriving. On Friday, a horde of us are heading up to Niagara Falls, and then Saturday we'll be having the reunion.

To go back to ancient history, on Sunday (Father's Day), we went mini-golfing. It was really fun. To close, here are some pictures! And I need to get up and clean up the kitchen/clean my room/do laundry/do schoolwork/etc.
