Anniversary Celebration

We left our RV hooked up & locked up at a campground in Peoria, IL while we drove "home".  (Hard deciding which place now to call home!)  We made a quick fly through the KC Metro to give the girls a dose of friends they've missed so much and to give Jim some office time and then headed to Hollister, MO.  My Dad & Stepmom, Judy planned a family celebration at Tablerock Lake to honor their 30 years together.  With their combined kids, grandkids and even one great-granddaughter there were 30 bodies together in one house for the week!  We stayed at the beautiful Mansion on the Lake... a 13,000 square foot home with 7 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms... more than enough space for our crowd.  The week held lots of swimming,
