My Dad's cousin, Brad Storment, got in touch with me last week - letting me know they'd be at his mom's (Delores) lake house over the weekend. It's taken me a while to get to posting this, but last Saturday we were able to meet up with them out at Newman Lake for a visit. My Mom and Dad, Seth, Ella and I drove out and met up with Delores, her sister Elna Ann, Brad, his wife Karen and their son Patrick, and his cousin Ronin. We had a terrific time! It was so wonderful to see these guys again. Delores, Brad and Karen (and their boys) were so great to me when I lived in Portland.... it was the only family I had down there. My Grandma and Grandpa, Ella & Dale, really loved spending time with Delores and her boys, Brad and Brian when they were little boys. It's fun to sit around and tell old stories about Ella's namesake. What a great bunch of people to know and they are so much fun to be with! The house on Newman Lake was so perfect.... what a treasure for them to have such a great retreat! It's right on the lake, which is absolutely beautiful. We got out a little bit on Brad's boat and dipped our toes in the water - the closest Ella's come to swimming yet!
