Family Picnic

     On Sunday afternoon, August 31st we held our 5th annual Jeffery Summer Picnic at the homestead.  It was nice to gather at the old homestead with four generations of our family.  Below is Wilbert with his great-grandson Charlie Clements, who is 2-1/2 years old.
     Below is Charlie with the tree he planted last summer, a Tulip Tree - its growing faster than he is!  This tree will grow to near 60' high.  
     See the sunflowers are in bloom!
