For Gramma & Papa's 56th Anniversary, Gramma's brother Larry, her sister Gale & husband Mark all flew out from North & South Dakota to visit and celebrate with us. It was a surprise to Gramma, but Papa knew about it. Larry and his wife Lila were in AZ visiting their son, Paul, so Larry flew out from there (he & Lila live in Williston, ND though). Mark and Gale flew out from Watertown, SD where they live and run a small winery. Yes, I said winery and South Dakota in the same sentence. It is more of a vineyard that they are experimenting with and producing some wine from. They bottled 100 cases from this year's harvest. Amazing...that I have a relative in the wine-making industry and didn't know about it...and that it is happening in South Dakota!
Anyways, back to Gramma & Papa! We all wanted to celebrate their anniversary with them, so brought a full picnic BBQ lunch to their house...the actual BBQ and all! Vince grilled some ribs, and we brought all the other sides & fixings. Shelly & Jimmy, Tina, Mom & Dad, and Vince and I all came over. It was delicious!! And very cool that we brought the fun with us and made it all there. I think Gramma & Papa really enjoyed it. And it was fun listening to the sisters & brother harrass each other. :) We didn't stay too late, as all the company and festivities wore them out, but we had a great time there!
