Reunited... and it feels so good

If we keep on the same schedule, Mom's side of the family will have a reunion this year. Every three years since 1988, Mom, her brothers, their children, and grandchildren have gathered to laugh, tell old and new stories, and catch up with one another. Different branches take turns hosting the reunion. The family is spread to both coasts and from New England to Florida, but absences are rare. It's a joy to have extended family that enjoys being together as much as this one does.

The family of cousin Barbara and her mom Aunt Win (on the outsides above) hosted us beautifully in south Florida over Thanksgiving weekend in 2000. George and young Nina (in the middle) are the progeny of Uncle John and Aunt Nina.

You can see that south Florida at the end of November puts everyone in a good mood.
