Labor Day weekend my brother, Bella and I ventured off to Nada, Texas for the St. Mary's Church Picnic. When we were younger we would attend the picnic every year. Grandma Berger lived just down the street so if we got tired or too hot, we'd walk back to Grandma's house. Even after she passed away, we continued to go for a few years...and then we stopped. Tony and I have been talking about going back but never made it happen. We made it happen this year. A bunch of our crazy cousins were going as well so we made it a family affair. It was hot but the cold beer and shade made it bearable. Bella had a fabulous time and was plum wore out by the time we left. It was a good day. We arrived around 11:30 and had lunch. The auction started at 1:00 and ended after dark. I have never stayed there the entire time but this was truly a family affair. The "cousins' took up a whole bleacher. We were all bidding on stuff, laughing, visiting, drinking, eating and sending Bella for more light up rings!

Aunt Marilyn & Aunt Tina proudly holding Aunt Tina's purchase of her brother's homemade Mustang Grape Wine. Uncle Frank (Marilyn's husband, Tina's brother) passed away last October.
The auction had three bottles of his wine. I couldn't tell you who bought the first but Aunt Tina purchased the 1/2 gallon and Shari (Uncle Frank's daughter) bought the gallon jug.
The crazy cousins contributed to the purchase of the jug.
The best damn wine you'll ever drink!
Sharla, Tony and myself enjoying the recipe!
Here are all of us crazy cousins showing off our light rings we got from Bella's many trips to the fish pond. :)
This was the best day I've had in a long time. You just can't beat spending time with your family. I guarantee you an awesome time with our family!!
Y'all have a good one!
