On Saturday, I woke up at 10 a.m.  I got ready and left at 11 a.m.  I picked up Josh and we got to my mom's house around noon.  There were a few people there when I got there.  Throughout the day, people stopped by the party.  We had a lot  of food, a fire and the band played music.  We also played music and danced.  I took several pictures and also video taped.  Some of the people that were there were:  mom, Bruce, Uncle David, Kimmy, Johnny, my dad, Aunt Pauline, Michael, grandma Elizabeth, Gary, Gary Thompson, Uncle Donnie, Aunt Karen, Lizzie and her boyfriend, Michael Willoughby, Gary Hall, Aunt Sandy, Aunt Juanita, Aunt Dana, Aunt Judy, Uncle Bill, Uncle Bob, Aunt Dede, Uncle Carl, Aunt Sue, Stacy, Sandy, Subrena, Brittany, Jackie, Hailey, Aunt Susie, J.R., Missy, Shane, Tony, Roxanne, Hailey, George, Gabby, Anthony, Buffie, my mom's friend Ann, Karen & Ed, Shannon, Josh, Ella & Alex, Jodi and her dad (from Martha's orchard), Sharon and her great niece (my mom and Bruce's neighbor from across the road), Ed & Karen's daughter, Andrea from the Zoo and several people that played bluegrass music with my mom and Bruce but I didn't know their names.  There were probably a few people there that I forgot to name.  I know I had fun at the party.  At the end of the party we sat around the fire and they played their insturments and some of us sang along.  Then we helped clean up.  I got home around 2 a.m.

 I got up this morning around noon.  I called my mom but she was asleep.  I called her again at 3 p.m. and she was out riding her horse.  I told Uncle David to tell her we were on our way out.  When we got there, we helped clean up what was leftover from the party.  Then I went with my mom, Aunt Sandy and Aunt Juanita to CVS to pick up my mom's meds.  We stopped by Dairy Queen on the way home.  Aunt Sandy bought everyone something.  We took back Bruce, Kimmy and Uncle David something.  When we got back, we sat by the fire for about an hour.  Then we went inside and played a game of cards.  Then we watched a home video.  Kimmy and I left around 10:45 p.m. 

This photo above was taken on September 4th the day after the party.  We came over and helped clean up.
