A Long Awaited Reunion!

On Tuesday, June 21st, we left Puyallup and drove down to my Aunt June's house in Longview and there we had a wonderful visit with Aunt June and also my Aunt Barb who had driven up from Vancouver. We had such a great time and then we were treated to lunch by Aunt June at Applebee's. It was so great seeing them and catching up!! It had been 4 1/2 years since we saw them last so this was a much overdue reunion and a great way to end our get away!!
