All of us consistently held our family reunion at mom’s house.
They had a sizable pavilion that seats fifty people, & the bathrooms were close to the pavilion… Last year, mom & Mom sold their condo & bought something smaller.
They said it was time to downsize. The only condo with an section sizable enough to hold fifty to one hundred people, was mine. All of us had a sizable field near the house, & all the two of us had to do was rent a sizable tent & several sizable picnic tables. My parents said about renting some portable cooling system units for the tent, but even they weren’t enough to keep people cool when the tent was in the middle of an open field. The teenagers were great with running out in the sun, but our family had a lot of elderly people. My husband opened the enclosed patio for anyone who wanted to prefer the cooling system, and he put a sign up to the door that no one between the ages of many & forty were allowed inside, unless you had a medical reason. I chuckled at that one. There was no way I was going to stay outside in the heat when I could go into our patio & prefer the cooling system. I told our husband that our mother & Grandmother wanted myself and others to kneel & play poker with them. He knew it was a sorry excuse, but the only one I could come up with. I could hear music coming from the tent, & remembered there were portable cooling systems inside. All of us danced, played cards & games, & appreciated the cooling system in the tent, until long after midnight.
