Hi Gardening Friends!
Went to my mother's Family reunion The Lauffer Reunion this past weekend and here is a picture of me on Saturday night outside Rizzo's in Crabtree PA. The Lauffer Family haves been in Westmoreland County since 1774 when Christian Lauffer the Pioneer came with his wife and nine of his ten children to Westmoreland County Pa. So that what I did this weekend. Gardener Den
