Thanks to G.G. for the great job with the weekend QOTD

Today's Question(s):
G.G. mentioned family reunion so lets find out about yours
When was the last time your family held a Reunion ?
There haven't been any official reunions that I remember, but every year at Thanksgiving everyone on my dad's side would always get together. You weren't allowed to miss it! It was a ton of fun. The last time we did that was about 13 years ago.
Did you go ?
Are there any scheduled for the future ? No, but Dh and I plan on buying and keeping a great big house where we can have get togethers like that in the future.
Will you be attending ? Of course!
Bonus Question:
In honor of Elevator Day
When was the last time you were in an Elevator ?
A week ago at the library
Have you ever had any fun or unusual elevator experiences ?
I have trouble thinking that being in an elevator would be fun, aside from the stereotypical "experience" . I'm a bit claustrophobic and just watch the numbers until I can get out of there.
Extra Credit Question:
In honor of "cut back day"

Today's Question(s): G.G. mentioned family reunion so lets find out about yours
When was the last time your family held a Reunion ? Midwestern Bookworm and I must be distant relatives; I couldn't imagine the disfunctional collection of people that have been in and out of my family over the years EVER getting together. The last "meeting" was my father's funeral and it was strained, at best...
Did you go ?
Are there any scheduled for the future ? My sister & family are really my only American relatives and if WE don't go to the effort to see them, we don't get together. I get along with my MIL only because my german isn't good enough to REALLY communicate with her. My wife's glad we live on the other side of the worldd from her mom & sister. I really like the rest of my wife's relatives, but I regret that I haven't learned enough German to really talk with them...
Will you be attending ? Nope!
Bonus Question: In honor of Elevator Day

Yeah, sometimes I'll browse. It's not like we need anything, though... Eating Breakfast for Dinner ? ALL the time! Breakfast is my favorite meal!
