GRUTE:  CAN ANYONE COME TO YOUR FAMILY REUNION??? LOOKS LIKE A BLAST!!

[Grute Man]

Ya ya ya -- anyone can come.     I'll be heading down yonder ta Kain-tuck ta see my kin twards end of this munth.     Im from there so Im bi-lingual.  I speak clean Minnesotan and slured Kain-tuckian. 

Seriously, Im going to see my sister and her extended family and also some friends I grew up with.  One is my oldes friend in my life.  I've known him since I was about 4.  I was "running away" and saw him playing in his sand box so I asked if I could play too.  He said sure and we've been friends ever since.  I got 2 hole houses away from my house on that "run away."   :ROTFLMAO:  Cant wait to see them all.

Doubt we'll be shootin any fire arms like in the video   :;  but there will be some of this   ::cheers::  and lots of this

GRUTE:  NOW THAT YOUR BACK HOW WAS THE GATHERING IN THE SOUTH?

[Grute Man]

No fire arms or feudin from the Hatfields but we still had fun.  Saw my sister, her kids, and their kids.  Saw my aunt for the first time in 8 years along with my cousin who is now engaged.  Boy has she changed in 8 years.  Then saw the high school buddies who came up with the name Grute.  Now they got kids and introduce me to them as Grute.  I bet their wives don't even know my real name.     And I saw another friend who is like a Grandma to me.  She is the sweetest person I know and now at 83, she's kinda slowin down a bit.  She took me fishin when the "big boys" didn't have room and we showed em all up; I'll never forget that.  The old saying "revenge is a dish best served cold" is wrong.  My seroget Grandma and I showed up the big boys and we had a fish fry so I'd say its a dish best served fried with hush puppies.     It was so good seeing everyone again but it was so short.  Momma talked me into driving so we could save some money but I'll never do that again.  We spent a lot of time.  She must have caught me at a weak moment.

Thanks for thinkin of me.  When I get back home from Nort Dakota, I'll post some pics of the reunion.  Good times.

Another from Lost River Cave.  Theres a small cave tour but lots of hiking, a butterfly sanctuary, panning for gems....lots of fun:


My neice (Spud Monkey), her son Luke, Hockey #12, and Swan in Mammoth Caves.  This place has MILES of caves to tour.  I LOVE going there every time Im in KY.

A little masked robber entertaining us during our drive (2000 miles total -- never again!!!!)  The scarf is Momma's from the 3 Day Breast Cancer walk:


Well thats a bunch but I got tons more.  Maybe we could make some popcorn and have a slide show.   ::

I wish the trip could have been longer but no could do.  We'll go back again in 09 probably.  Maybe then we'll have some firearms like the good folks in Arkansas 

Talk to you folks later.
