Yesterday was the 45th Bosch Family Wiener Roast! Todd Bosch's grandmother started the family roast in 1964 to celebrate the family farmers having their crops in and this started a tradition that's gone on every year since. Grandmother Bosch has since passed on and the tradition has been handed down. This year Todd's Uncle passed the wiener baton over to Todd and they had a very successful gathering with over 100 relatives showing up. There were cousins, aunts and uncles galore! Ted and I were the "mystery guests" for the Roast. Finally one of the Uncle's asked Ted, "Just who are you?" We decided we came the farthest for the event!
It was supposed to rain yesterday but the skies parted to a beautiful day. The fire was lit about 10:00 a.m. and roared all day. Being a pot luck there was great food and especially great desserts! I decided I was off the diet for the day and tried a little bit of everything! There were some pumpkin cookies to die for! I think Ted decided that chocolate chip cookies were just the thing to eat! Todd and Shawna have a huge barn and yard that easily held everyone with room for more! There were card tables set up and card games went on all day long. The TV was set up for football (yep, they love their football). There was kite flying, marshmallow cooking, a bean bag game, some football and lots and lots of gabbing!
