My sweet Uncle Wes and Aunt Myrna joined us again for the rib cookoff this year. It was so generous of them to travel for 9 hours for a weekend trip. Nic and Karla and the kids came, and Kelli managed to get a few hours off from nursing school! Between having my brothers and my dad's brother (the most like him), it was as close to having dad join us as it could be. I hope to always attend the rib cookoff. I've always loved it, but more than me, my dad loved it. it was always his favorite downtown event. This year, we set up chairs and shade tents and had a wonderful time. We visited in true fashion that dad would have loved. Like all things, it was bittersweet, but I cherish these times.
