The weather was beautiful, the food was superb and the
company warm and wonderful, all thirty of us connected by
love and DNA.

We had turkey, chicken, ham, salads, Vegetables, 4 kinds of
pie rolls and the tastiest sprouts that I ever had. They
were rolled in honey, wrapped in bacon and baked. My nephew found the recipe on Food Network and it was so good.

We ranged in age from 7 months, (my great, great nephew to
me at almost 88. My sister worked tirelessly to make the
get together extra special. When we started this reunion,
Adrienne and Thomas were six and now they are both in college. Time does fly.

I left, feeling fortunate, to have such a great extended
family. When no one else loves you, family is there for you.
