We arrived at my sister Gloria and husband Rons house last Mon. evening to begin preparations for our bi-annual Wheeler family reunion on Fri. thru Sun. My sister Ilene husband Al, sister Kathy and husband Dave arrived on Wed. We four the Miller siblings were hosting it this year. It was a very busy three days getting the farmstead spruced up and preparing meals etc. for the reunion. We also enjoyed reminiscing in the evenings as we always do. We also played a game of UNO Fire on two evenings. The reunion began on Fri. evening with a catered meal at the Grant UM Church fallowed by a short business session and visiting. On Sat. morning we all gathered at the Patrick farmstead for coffee juice and rolls. At 9:30 a group went to the lake at Ogallala for a day of jet skiing and boating. Another group went to the golf course for a game of golf and another went to City Park for tennis. There was a small group that stayed behind to visit and prepare the pork for the evening meal. Everyone gathered back at the farm at 4PM for a scavenger hunt, water balloon toss and other games. Many people also enjoyed riding the 1903 Olds replica, The side by side bicycle built for two, go cart riding etc. Fallowing a supper of pork cooked over hot coals, a seven bean dish, homemade ice cream and much more. we were entertained by the Cowboy Capitol Chorus. Later in the evening all gathered around the campfire to share our talent and to share memories. This year we tried to focus on memories of Grandma Wheeler. Sun. morning part of the group that hadn't already started for home met at Gloria and Ron's house for a short worship service lead by Kathy Cook. There were 70 to 80 people that attended the reunion. Two of the three remaining Wheeler children were in attendance. That being Uncle Carrol age 91 and Uncle Wesely age 85. Uncle Gerald age somewhere in between was unable to attend. The youngest in attendance was one month old son of Jesse and Renee Dillon.
