We hadn't seen her in nearly two years.  She and her husband brought a young couple over this evening to see Shiloh.  They are getting married in June and were thinking of having their honeymoon here.  In fact, they were so impressed with what they saw, they went ahead and made the reservation.

 

When our friend saw the most recent picture of our family back in the states, she immediately dubbed it the "Tucker Tribe".  Since we've been friends for years, she feels like she knows our sons and their families.  Soon she was planning a big family get-together here at Shiloh.  Dan, Tim, and David could bring their wives and all eleven of the grand-kids.  In fact if we gave her enough advanced warning, she would take time off work and come cook for us.  She had it all figured out.  A big house like Shiloh, with six bedrooms and five bathrooms, would have plenty of room for everyone.  Papa Jim, Mama Alice, and all 17 of their descendants could sleep 3 and a fraction per room.  This is Africa.  We could make it work!  

 

Small problem.  We just have to talk all the rest of the Tucker Tribe into spending a small fortune to get themselves out here to Shiloh for a visit.
