Family Reunion






Random thoughts on family reunions...

--They are a lot of work
--Most people don't RSVP till the day before


--To a child they are magical, they shape their lives
--My 83 year old Mother was so happy to see all the wonderful people in her life
--My Father would have loved every minute of it




--They keep relationships alive
--Reunions help you realize you are part of a bigger picture
--It's always good to remember that you have many people that love and care about you
--Reunions build a family culture




--Family members are more than happy to help plan and execute a reunion for 100
--My family is very generous
--Since I have 5 siblings, I will plan the next family reunion in 2017!!

I know your mom must have been so thrilled to see so many of her posterity come together. I remember your parents lovely backyard. It's also fun to see pictures of your children all grown up now.
