Carrol's Grandkids

Jill and I are headed up to see my Grandpa Stub and Grandma Olsen later today. So I thought that it would be fitting to post this old photo from the Mitchell Family Reunion.
Stub's real name is Carroll Laverne so you see why he might prefer to be called Stub. The Mitchell reunion used to be held at an old stone WPA era park shelter at Pikes Point on Lake Okaboji. One year someone made shirts for everyone identifying how they were related in the family.
From Ole's Blog
So here my sister and I are posing on a picnic table for this wonderful photo. It may have been nice to think that we were caught in a candid moment enjoying the lake together, but get realistic! I think my sister and I got along better than most, most of the time, but you probably wouldn't have caught us sitting this close together of our own free will.
Maybe will will get up to the lake with Grandpa this weekend and see how things are thawing out for spring.
