Just a few more weeks till the 19th annual Schroeder family reunion. Saturday,
August 14th is the day and we hope to see everyone present at Hart Lake.
Here's a look at how the day's activities are shaping up so far: (I have had
one problem with the reunion activities and details so far and that is that I
haven't got any from anyone. So I took it upon myself to assign activites to
certain families and individuals, if you are unhappy with your assignment,
feel that you could be more helpful doing something else, just don't want to
participate, or just feel that you cannot handle the RESPONSIBILITY, just let
me know and we can make other arrangments,)
The reunion will run from 12:00pm till 8:00pm. The cost for the reunion this
year will be $4.00 per adult (anyone over 21 ) and $2.00 per child over 12
years of age (this not does include the cost for food, see dinner schedule
for food option). As you enter Hart's Lake just tell them you are with the
Schroeder family and then pay Chris Schroeder the appropriate fee for your
family when you arrive.

An Oldster's Lament
How do I know that my youth is all spent?
Well, my get up and go has got up and went.
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin.
When I think of where my get-up has been.
Old age is golden so I've heard it said,
But sometimes I wonder as I get into bed,
With my ears in a drawer and my teeth in a cup
My eyes on a table until I wake up.
Ere sleeping dims my eyes I say to myself
"Is there anything else I should have laid on the shelf?"
I'm happy to say as I close the door
My friends are the same - only perhaps even more.
When I was young my slippers were red,
I could kick up my heels right over my head,
When I grew older my slippers were blue
But I could still dance the whole night through.
Now I'm old, my slippers are black
I walk to the store and I puff my way back.
The reason l know that my youth is all spent
Is my get-up and go has got up and went.
But l really don't mind when I think with a grin
Of all the grand places my get-up has been.
Since I have retired from life's competition
I bust myself wgth complete repitition.
I get up each morning, dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the "Obits."
If my name is missing I know I'm not dead
So I eat a good breakfast, and go back to bed.

SOAP BUBBLES
1/2 cup Joy or Dawn detergent
2 tbsp glycerine
4 cups water
It was a dark and rainy evening in October on the Delaware in
Carpentersville, NJ. Andrew Foss and Ervin Jones were sitting in their boat
and all was still. Using only trout as bait the next thing Andy knew was he
had something. He didn't know what it was but he could tell it was BIG. And
BIG is was, a 161b, 29 1/2 inch round catfish. The fish was BIG, so BIG in
fact that it won Andy the State Angler's Award. So for those of you always
interested in a good fish story ask Andy about it at the reunion.

Quiltus Maximus
Here's an idea for next years family reunion and we could continue to do it
for years after also. I read it in an article Uncle Jack gave me. How about
a family quilt. Each year each family brings a quilt square or two to the
reunion then someone will put the quilt together over the year and it will
be the grand prize in the 50/50 drawing or as a door prize. I really like he
idea! Anybody else?
