COUSINS: FTGO 2016

This year we did an abbreviated version of our annual cousins reunion, FTGO (For Touby Girls Only), in honor of the original five Touby women.  It was a serendipitous landing on the calendar when most had a few free days.  Our pop-up event was staged in Lindenhurst at Jane's and we wandered across the border into Wisconsin, east to Illinois Beach State Park, and into Lake Forest.  But mostly we talked, laughed and gnoshed our way through four days.

Touby Cousins Reunion #4

POTATO CREEK STATE PARK, INDIANA

In September 2015, we gathered back home again in Indiana.  Phil and Karon hosted us the first night at their place where we were treated to a huge spread in Phil's "Garage Mahal."  We toured the sights in South Bend, including the Studebaker Museum and Notre Dame.  Back at the park, we had a nice campfire, made s'mores and sat under the stars.

Gene and Marcia drove from Oklahoma to join us in Greentown for a great visit with Mother!  We toured Coan Engineering and the Touby Homestead.
