The girls were all so busy in the kitchen preparing the meal and food for the next day. It takes a lot of food when there are approximately 40 mouths to feed.
The big project for the day was getting a nice winter supply of fire wood gathered, hauled and stacked. The cousins, young and older all had a hand in this big project. There were 4 loads that day with both a trailer and pickup. GREAT JOB UTECHT FAMILY!
This Lutheran Gun was made by a family friend and brought so all could see and enjoy.
Every one was amazed at the beautiful handicraft and hard work that went into making this gun.
The Lutheran emblem in Latin.
The Lutheran emblem in German.
The stalk was made from a special wood from the Turkey area. If you put your cursor on the picture it can be enlarged to see the detail checkering and wood grain.
The gentleman at the left is a close friend of the family and actually makes guns. He made this one for himself. THE LUTHERAN GUN!
Sharing memories of the years gone past. "NO, I did not shoot out the pickup window!"
Time to eat, First Prayer, then Mom and Dad get to start the long line of about 40 people for the delicious prime rib/ cheesy potatoes, lettuce salad and coleslaw meal.
Thinking of another Hymn for the Hymn sing. After reviewing a bit of family history, Rev Utecht had a beautiful prayer for country, the church and family and friends.
The youngest of the 29 Grandchildren. He will be 2 yr old in Aug.
Cousin fun!
The cousins singing "This little gospel light of mine"
Lots of cousins when there are 14 children. They were not all there but still a full house and lots of fun. I believe 9 of the children were there Tue evening. Some had been there and left. The cousins got in on the hymn sing and they all have very good voices.
