The Besch Blast 2012

We just spent 4 wonderful days at Lake Benton, MN with aunts and uncles and cousins and some of the members of our immediate family. We enjoyed boat rides thanks to cousin Steve Besch and Jim Tharp. There were many card games and Father Russ taught me a lot about Euchre. Some played volleyball and bean bag toss. There was a campfire and everyone who knew how to play guitar (Dan, Ron, Joe, Paul, Steve, Dave and Ruth)took a turn while all of the others joined the singing. There was lots of great foods and even better conversation and of course, "We celebrated Mass, a tradition that will not pass". So much love among so many people was given freely and sincerely. Thanks especially to Mary Jane, Father Russ and Cathy for the conversation about our past. It makes a few things clearer in my mind and hopefully in yours.
