Family Reunion '08

The best part of family reunions is getting to catch up on what everyone's been doing since the last time we all got together! It was great to have Jeff Gawthrop in from Denmark (Steve's son) and Missy (Larry's daughter) as well as Deloris, Bill (her son) and Bruce that we haven't seen for a few years! Of course we missed all our loved ones that couldn't make it and remembered those that have passed on to the "great reunion" in the sky!

It was complete with all the usual recipes that we look forward to and some new ones! Someone needs to collect them all and make a family recipe book! Let's see a show of hands that will organize that little feat! :) Needless to say we were all stuffed and there were no apple dumplings left. Mom (JoAnn) even attempted to make the white cake that Grandmother was famous for and we all remember to this day! She came pretty close to the bonofide original!

The rain held out until we finished dessert and then it suddenly swept us inside where we finished visiting and catching up! The day was beautiful and ended with hugs and kisses until we meet again next year! Put it on your calenders now... August 1, 2009 will be our next reunion! Until then, keep reading the blog!

Reunion Time!

Every year we gather to remember Grandmother's birthday and fellowship with each other and catch up! This year, like all others is the first Saturday in August (August 2). We will gather at noon so bring a favorite dish, a lawn chair and lots of hugs to give away! I'd also love to know if you're coming so we'll have enough apple dumplings for everyone who wants one so send me your RSVP! :) Can't wait to see you there!
