The extended Stauffer family always has a chicken bbq the Saturday after Labor Day. Since Leroy's mother's birthday is September 1, her birthday is always recognized at the bbq. This year the bbq was expanded with a full-fledged 100th birthday party. We rented a school for the event, which was a good thing because we had the largest crowd ever and it rained and hailed just as we were ready to eat.
Here are a few pictures that tell the story.

There have been a lot of changes in the world in 100 years. But the earth keeps turning and God keeps sending new people to replace those who died. What will the next hundred years bring? Only God knows. What we know is that He keeps His promises and we are secure in Him no matter what happens.
