Soemtimes it was at a Minnesota lake for vacation, and sometimes just at my grandparents', but summer always was the season for everyone to come home and touch base. The funny thing is that every cousin was an only child - I just can't imagine the joy of so many siblings!<br /><br />And Torch Lake, with all the fruit and the Petosky stones and all that - has achieved almost mythical status in my mind. One day I'll get there.....<br /><br />You and Rick look wonderful in your photos!shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-61788190567131579012013-08-07T09:52:03.573-04:002013-08-07T09:52:03.573-04:00What a great gathering!!

I think it must be very interesting to listen to all the relatives who are everywhere in the States....So much to tell about.<br />And some of the brothers look very similar....one of them exactly like Rick!! Nice pictures of you two!! For me the USA stands for "family"...I think the family is very important for Americans, much more than for the Germans. <br />The log cabin is fantastic....so much rooms and possibilities for all the people to stay. And the lake looks great.....I love cold lakes because they are normally very clear.<br /><br />Best wishes and thanks for the nice pictures<br />IrisHerzBlatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721274445660345711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-42754830849160696322013-08-07T09:41:27.864-04:002013-08-07T09:41:27.864-04:00What a great spot to gather.

When bloggers show pictures of their large family gatherings I get a little catch in my throat: there is no one I could meet which would make such a meeting meaningful. <br /><br />I never thought I would miss having family, but with happy pictures like these I am learning what I missed and am still missing.<br /><br />I bet it has made you forget your troubles for a while.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-84083316269082706342013-08-06T13:42:29.237-04:002013-08-06T13:42:29.237-04:00A beautiful family album.

I particularly admire your artist's eye on things, the capture, the lighting. Esp. like the one with Rick in a sofa doing crossword puzzle.

I'm also so happy that all of Rick's brothers could gather there this summer. <br /><br />The colors are all so sharp and beautiful of the fruits and the flowers. I appreciate seeing them so much. This year I just can't get enough flowers.

My dad is from northern Wisconsin and his one brother had six kids. My dad left. All my cousins married and stayed in and around Rhinelander. Their lives are very much like what you have portrayed here. Mine wasn't, at all. Yeah.

I would simply love to have the chance to participate in a big family gathering like this, but I think you need a lot of people to get the full experience. In our case we have extended family but most English people only seem to have two or three kids. I suspect our houses aren't big enough for more! <br /><br />Anyway you'll have some more wonderful memories now, till next year.

I am so glad you will be free to spend the whole week in the future! And a special, public, thanks to Mary Blanchard for all she does to keep Minisa in the family. In some ways it was a nice change of pace to have cold weather so we could enjoy the fireplace. And as usual, your pictures are wonderful.
