This is just a sampling of the pictures, to let you know things went well at the reunion here at our house. We never did get an accurate head count, but it was about 80. Some folks who had said two days earlier they were coming, didn't show. We expected that to happen; it always does, with any kind of gathering. Everyone had a great time, it seemed to me. There was lots of laughing and smiling going on. The kiddies were all well-behaved, and got along great.
My horse, Blue, got some use, since I'd promised Cliff's cousin's granddaughter, Mercedes, she could ride when she came to visit. Of course, if she was going to ride, others wanted to also. I let her ride alone (with me in close attendence). The others simply sat in the saddle while I led them around.
I'm glad we did this. It was a one-time thing that I'll never forget.
What a nice thing to have a big place to hold all the family. Great memories for you all.

Mo, I'm sure it was a wonderful day. We did that one time when my first husband was still living for my side of the family and his mother, brother and sister. We invited all my siblings and their children. The day was lovely. My brother did a video of the day and we still play it even today. It was one of the most memorable events of my life. I'm sure you'll savor the memories too! Thanks for sharing! Love, Sam
