I come from a small family so Christmas was small when I was a kid. Now for our own Christmas we have about a dozen. Six grandkids, two granddaughters boyfriends, son and wife, son in law, Marilyn and me.

Then there is Marilyn s family. Years ago when I was dating Marilyn and for awhile after we were married when we met at Marilyn s grandparent s house we had quite a crowd. 15 kids in Marilyn s family, 14 kids in Marilyn s aunt s family and two from her uncle. That makes 31 grandkids plus boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses and parents. Needless to say we outgrew grandma s house and rented the church social hall.

Marilyns family still gets together for Christmas but we rent the fire station and the grandkids do the planning and most of the work. We could easily number 100 if everyone came. A normal crowd is probably 75. A handful of cousins come but mostly it is grandkids, great grandkids and great-great grandkids of Marilyns grandparents. It is a pot luck and a free for all when the food is served. What is really different to me is how we have aged. Years ago in Marilyns grandparents house grandma and grandpa were the oldest followed by the parents and on down the line. In three days when we get together I will be next to the oldest one there. We older ones are now two generations away from the grandparents who started it all. We are now the old folks who sit watching the grandkids run around! Where did the time go?

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
