Da Klicks be Representin'

Last weekend (Memorial Day) my Mother's children and grandchildren, and yes, really really GREAT grandchildren, gathered in Yates Center, KS for a time of fellowship and stories of life from the year previous. We've started doing this every Mem Day, which is also known locally as Yates Center Days. There's a parade and vendors and a pie-eating contest and the bank buys everybody barbecue and class reunions are understood to be held on this weekend.



Next year I'm due for my thirtieth.



Holy Shit.



Anyway, it's a good time. This was taken at the Saturday morning pancake feed, held at the Masonic Lodge (or is Hall?). My family name is Klick, but thanks to an overly represented Y chromosome in my ancestry, my wife and I are the only ones who actually carry the name. Btw, that's my wife Lucy in the right foreground, and my sister Barbara on the left. My Mom is drinking coffee. The guy in the red t-shirt and cap two seats south of her is the only one here who is NOT from the family.
