Lunch in Winnipeg

On Sunday, the family met again in Winnipeg, at Pati's house.  The lunch was blessed with warmer, sunny weather, even though it got much colder a little later in the day.  This had been quite a worry, as the days leading up to the get-together had been cold and rainy.  We often talk about our family, and this is a chance for us to put faces to the names that you've seen over the years.

You might guess that we're a family that like to eat, as those seem to be the only pictures we take.   Here is Jim with his back to us, Jeremy's shoulder to his left, and then Beth, Jessica and Samantha in that order to his right.  Then part of Amber.

 Here we see a much better view of Jeremy, Beth across the table beside Jessica, then Cathy and Jim on  the this side of the table.

Here we have mainly backs, unfortunately.  Starting on  the left there is Beth, with Amber across the table, then Gillian, Jim and Cathy, and then a better view of Jeremy, and we even got a quick picture of Loren.

Chairs were at a premium, as we can see when poor Gillian ended up sitting on the bottom of a 5 gallon pail.

Cathy took some pictures too.  Here is a lovely picture of Amber and her two girls, Jessica on the left and Samantha in the middle.

She also got a picture of Loren and his two children, Gillian in the middle and Jeremy on the right, his turn to sit on that 5 gallon pail.

Here's a nice picture of Beth, with Jeremy and Jessica.  Still can't catch Jeremy without his face on his phone, though. 

Regardless of the alternative type of seating, and the prevalence of cellphones, it was a good day.
