On Saturday, July 25th, was the Guiter/Danner Family 2009 reunion...There were several generations present and all of the Guiter siblings were represented.....They are: Evelyn, Eleanor, Cecil, Earl, Clara, and Edith. Another Sister, Bessie was remembered in pictures......
A very nice Shadow box was presented in Memory of Cecil Guiter. I believe it was made by Janet(Lewis) and her husband Jim. Jim gave a very thoughtful presentation in remembrance of Cecil and the sacrifices he had made by serving in the armed forces.
There were several family members present from each one of the Guiter siblings....Some who haven't been to our family reunions for many years. It was so nice to see everyone and talk about when we were all younger and crazy!! The food was all very delicious!
In wondering what to take, I think a lot about Grandma Tinkham who LOVED going to the family reunions or any family gathering for that matter. She so enjoyed entertaining all of her family with food which was her natural talent. So I decided to take one of Grandma's dishes she was known for....her seven layer salad.
Seven Layer Salad

1 Small head of lettuce
1/2 bag of frozen peas
1 small onion
2 stalks of celery
Miracle Whip (about 2 cups)
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
5 strips of bacon

Clean and dice up all the vegetables. Layer in order above.....spread on the miracle whip (you may use more or less depending on personal taste) then sprinkle with cheese and crumble crispy bacon over the top!

I guess I made the right choice because it went fast!! I think I heard positive remarks from everyone about having a great time! I can't wait to go back next year!! I have uploaded some pictures from the family reunion....starting with one of my immediate family...
