Prince Cousins Luncheon

Prince Cousins

5th Friday for Lunch Club~July 30, 2010

The Prince cousins who live close-by have been

making it a point to get together on 5th Fridays for

lunch. July 30th was no exception, and we

gathered at our home for what was deemed a

"Pioneer Lunch" because we had food that

earlier Princes might have had that they had

taken "from the land." It was just that, because we

served peas that Wayne planted in our garden

this year. We were so pleased to have more of the

7 Prince brothers represented this time. Ivan's

daughter Sue and her husband Gil Hineman came

from Dallas; Virgil Prince's daughter-in-law,

(David's wife) Marilyn Tutwiler; Wayne Prince

(Percy's son) of course was here; Ezra's daughter

Joy and daughter-in-law (Jerry's wife) Jackie Prince

came; Howard's son, Keith Prince was here from

Ruston, La, and Howard's daughter-in-law (Phil's wife)

Nancy Prince came and brought her daughter and

son-in-law, Marty and Kendall. We spent time catching

up on everyone's families, we told family stories, and

we just enjoyed being together.

We did take a little time during the afternoon

to notice the hummingbirds coming to our feeders.

A summer visit from the Bandera bunch...

In July Larry and Jackie came for a short visit and left

Caitlin and Hunter here to stay for a longer time.

We were so pleased to take all 5 of our grandchildren

to church on Sunday while we had them all together.

(Nanna, Caitlin, Hunter, Laura, Doug, Kaylee, and Pappy)

Rhonda graciously invited the kids to swim and they

had a good time there, cooling in the pool.

Caitlin just flipped over it!

Doug enjoyed jumping and catching the football on the

way to the water, and got pretty good at it.

Of course we had to stop and pose for a picture

of this fine group. I'm only sorry that we failed to

get Rylyn and Jackson in there saying "cheese" with

everyone else, but they were otherwise

occupied at the time!

(Kylan, Me, Caitlin, Doug, and Hunter)

Another attraction at the Mills home was their

birds! Hunter enjoyed fooling around with Bonnie,

and so did Caitlin.

Paxton was our sweet fun babiy visitor this summer!

Laura was about to get some of his sugar, but

Kaylee was really his hero... sharing her

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM with him!

How good is that?
