What a great weekend! Our family had its 22nd bi-annual family reunion Aug 7-9,2009. Originally this reunion was to have been a cruise but many had to cancel because of their financial situation. The committee regrouped and decided to return to our "roots" in Powhatan, VA. About 150 people attended, ages ranging from 2 months old to 80 something. On Friday evening for our family reflections I was asked to speak on "The Value of Family". On Saturday there was an all-day picnic with lots of food, swimming, board games , outdoor games and many opportunities to talk and meet new family members. The need to cancel the cruise may have been a "blessing in disguise". We focused on the purpose of our reunions and how to be sure we remember our roots.
If your family has reunions and you do not attend, you are missing a great experience!
