My dear brother really would like the redneck article to be behind us so I decided to write a bit about our family reunion. We really had a good crowd this year. It was really nice to see all of the little ones and their parents and grandparents and great-grandparent. Mom really enjoyed having everyone come and celebrate her birthday. Saturday night we sat down and counted everyone that was there. I believe she came up with 57 people. Not bad for a small family. Like Lana, I have a time getting settled down so I can enjoy spending time with everyone. I don't get to see family on a day to day basis so I get a little nervous and by the time I settle down, it is time for everyone to go their way. Regrets - I am very sad that we didn't take group pictures. Since, I am always with camera in hand, I look back now and see very few pictures of me with my kids,my husband, my parents, my siblings, everyone. Granted, I don't like my picture made but looking back, it is sad that I don't have them. So starting now, things are going to change. I will hand over my camera anytime. I am sure I will regret that statement.
Now, I have a favor to ask. First, I have started with the cookbook so all I can say is send recipes if you have any you want to put in our book - email is fine. Second, I am looking for a picture of Mom. She probably has it but she hasn't gotten around to looking for it. It is a picture of Mom wearing a red dress. She always wore this dress when she got dressed up for a special occasion. I am sure Lanny, Nancy, and Sharon remember this. Please if you come up this picture, I would really like a copy or email to me. Again, I am really enjoying the blogs that are being done. Keep up the good work. It is really a lot of fun.
Until next time .............
