In recent years, my siblings and I have been trying hard to get together a couple of times a year to have some laughs and get all caught up.  This year's summertime "Loney Family Thing" was out at my little sister Val's place.  The numbers meant that we needed a little more in the way of sleeping accommodations, so Wendy and I hauled The Caboose out there and parked it in the far end of their laneway.  This was, without a doubt, the toughest "campsite" that I've ever tried to put it into.

Regardless, we got it parked and set up and we had a fabulous weekend.  There were about ten of us there for the weekend and, as usual when we're together, we laughed out butts off most of the weekend.  Unfortunately, Janet and Paul couldn't make it in from Chicago, but Janet called on Sunday morning and we kept her on the phone for almost an hour.
