June 22 my family had a reunion at the family farm - my brother's farm. We had 28 in attendance! You can see some of the activities in the photos. The second photo shows Grant cranking homemade ice cream with me holding the freezer down with my foot. (I was blonde that day!) Several of my great - neices & nephews are helping. Lindsay is blowing bubbles with her cousin, Jackie. In the first photo the group is gathering to begin the best tradition - eating! Phil cooked Shipman beef hamburgers and everyone else brought family favorite foods. My sisters are under the tent preparing for the crowd - Joyce, Luanne, Nora and Carol. We also had a hay ride and toured the farm. It was a great day!
I hope each of you are enjoying family and friends this summer - and every chance you can. I am fortunate to have a close-knit family that I love spending time with.
I am feeling good and preparing for July 3rd treatment. My sister, Carol, will accompany me, since she is here from Montana for another few days. She will "represent" the Shipman family at my mother's family reunion on July 6th.
Happy Independence Day! Bless YOUR family and God Bless America!
Love,
Ellen
