Nobody can…
Undo the cohesiveness of this second generation Temmink’s Clan.

Sons and daughters of Dutch immigrants…
With their partners and extended family friends…

Share a bond…
Of which each one is very fond.

They plan outings and events…
And now started to share culinary blends.

Today they had such a get together…
In the deserts warm weather.

And the ones that that loved to stay cool …
Jumped in the pool.

They added to their legacy…
creating and sharing an Indonesian delicacy

But they could not set aside…
The Loempias they meant to divide…

Said they were to good to freeze!
And ate all 150 with ease!

The first immigrant generation is proud…
Of how this generation turned out.

And hope that the future generations …
Will also plan occasions…

To carry on the strong bond of this family…
Into eternity.
