Family Reunion in Rocky Mount

On Friday, June 12th we had a low country boil and cookout at our farm in Rocky Mount for the Strickland Family Reunion (Steve's Mom side). There were 43 adults and a some children that enjoyed good food and good company. If you aren't familiar with "low country boil" it is a big pot of boiling water with lots of spices to cook shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn and carrots...very good stuff! On Saturday, the guys played golf and on Saturday night we had the 46th Annual dinner...always the 2nd Saturday in June at Gardners Restaurant.
Below: Kyle, Katie, Carol, & Steve...Steve with his Mom, and some of the family in front of the sign.
Our church youth pastor asked Steve and I to help out with a mission trip for High School Seniors to Jamaica, so Steve left Tuesday with the advance crew, and I leave tomorrow. We'll be back late on June 26th, and plan to leave to continue Exploring the USA July 1st.
