Sunday Ramblings

 

As another week draws to an end and the month closes down, I am working on getting a few things completed, or started, and trying my best to not feel abused and left out by Harvey's female portion of the extended family. It seems like the females (even the in-law portion other than myself) keep in constant touch. That really makes it tough to feel a part of this family. I do try, but get shot down most of the time. This weekend really showed how much this happens. After the first round of hugs I was either totally ignored or talked down to. Something I should be used to but every so often feels like a kick in the teeth. 

I am so glad that I have nieces, nephews and their spouses that make up for this lack of family feeling. They are just so wonderful to me at all times. 

So I will share a few pictures of the celebration with all of you.

Harvey's two cousins that lived on a farm only a few miles from them are included in this photo.

All the family was there which of course surprised pretty much the entire village. 

These pictures were taken in one of the BIL's yards. 

Now some pictures of old vehicles that paraded around the village. I heard there were close to 100 in the car show.

Just a few of the older vehicles that toured the village in a parade later in the afternoon. 

That first photo is pretty special to me. An old friend has many old vehicles that he has restored over the years. Not too sure what year this Model T (he has three he has restored) is, but I got a ride in it after the parade. I was the only one after his wife (also a friend) who got to go around the town. That was so nice of them. The ride was a bit rough, but my back managed just fine. His wife was pretty disappointed that she didn't get a picture of me in the vehicle. I said that was perfectly okay.

We also attended the polka Mass (not my favourite of Mass types) so as we could use the online Mass this morning.

More pictures of the program and the live concert the Johner Brothers/Boys later that night coming tomorrow or perhaps the next day.

We didn't stay for the whole concert, but came home before it got too dark.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.
