We arrived at Pioneer Village about the same time my sister Sue and family arrived. Pioneer Village is kind of a seasonal mobile home park, but they have several "cabins" for out-of-towners to rent. The cabins are really small, one bedroom mobile homes, but it's perfect for a weekend. They also have a big recreation center with ping pong table, billiards and a swimming pool. And what gathering place in Florida would be complete without Shuffleboard Courts! All of my brothers and sisters came and many of the nieces and nephews, a few great-nieces and great-nephews. Ann and Kenny, Gay (Dave didn't make it), Bud and Debbie, Richard and Kim, Sue and John and Dianne. My niece Cathy was there with her new boyfriend and two babies, Jonathan and Amanda just moved back from North Carolina, Mindy, Mike's daughter that I haven't seen in more than 15 years was there! Tony and Jackie, Sue's kids, Nick and AJ (plus two of their friends), Richard's son Adam is now 17 years old and 6'-5" tall!! We all ate too much and chatted with everyone there. Later, our lunch leftovers became dinner for most of us. The rain were having doesn't seem to cool things off, it's still 95+ degrees and the hot rain just makes the air steamy and unbearable.
