Family Joys
Christmas Dinners at the Grandparents were a big event back in the early '50s as families were growing. This was in 1953 and included Tim, Verlon, baby Carolyn, Kathy and Terry Soucek. This group would be the first of my folk's 17 grandchildren. After these 5, we added Jon; Don and Gladys added Laurie, Becky and Mary Beth; Vivian and Eddie Soucek added Sandy; Janice and Larry Sorge added Gary, Julie and Mark; Jerry and Sondra added Jim, Tony, Cindy and Tanya. The Florence & Tony Vrana family has continued to grow with several of their 17 grandchildren now grandparents in their own right.
These pictures were among the couple hundred that I scanned today. I can't think of anything that I could be doing that would be more pleasurable.
We had a retired rancher from the Imperial area of Nebraska join us and Steve for Supper this evening. He has only been here for three weeks and has a daughter and her family living here is Seward. He is the youngest of 14 children with 6 brothers and 7 sisters. There were 25 years between his oldest sister and himself. He made for a very interesting table mate in Marvin's absence. His family takes him out quite often. We enjoyed Carolyn and Ben's visit this afternoon. It's been a cool, rainy day.
