Following the meal, a fun and interesting game/contest was held to "write down as many distinct memories you can remember of Grandma & Grandpa K in this house from years ago".
A beautiful day greeted us all as we gathered in Gridley. No fires, spills, or casualties whatsover this year!.....only good times and more memories....
Cathy won the contest and the prize with the most specific itemized memories of good times from this household and of Grandma and Grandpa. Everyone's list evoked lots of other examples & conversation. Perhaps the most unusual, impressive, and unique one was of Uncle Perry's which stated, "I was born in the room directly above us and was "reborn" in this room, where we sit.
Feel free to add more of your own recollections in the COMMENTS section below.
In fact, one memory of the plaque that hung in the dining room for countless years prompted Perry to get up and retrieve it from his collection of memorabilia. Do you remember this from many years ago?
We missed seeing those who were unable to attend due to other commitments or were understandably too far away to travel to Gridley for this 2013 DAP.

Ditto the comments on the pleasures of the DAP. Carol was as gracious as usual as our hostess and main cook. All the food was delicious. The discussion of memories was nostalgic and brought some laughter and some tears.
Sounds like a great time together. I thought of everyone gathered together around noon yesterday.
It was a wonderful day and a delicious meal. The "memories", however, were the highlight of the day. Thanks for your hospitality.
Glad you had such a wonderful time. One of these years I'm going to find a way to get there--Would love to be a part some year.
