The younger members of the extended family are having a bit of a reunion at the cottage today. As space is tight, Sue and I are staying away this time, but we have been twice in the past few years.
We haven't gone as often as we would like, either. But once we do all get together, it's just a lovely time.
I feel like a fool. Somehow, I am no longer getting updates of when you post, so to cure that problem, may I please add your blog to my left sidebar? I will only do so with your permission.
Your reunion looks like it holds both beautiful memories and great photo ops, too. Seems as if everyone had a great time.
Hi, Elizabeth. Yes, definitely add my blog to your sidebar. I'm honored. Thanks for stopping by. It was a really great reunion! I love my husband's family so much and for the most part we are on different coasts, so we don't see them much.
That looks like a wonderful family reunion! The last one my family had was when I was a little girl.
Hi, Chrys, it was. We were to one earlier this year for the 80th birthday of the Pittsburgh brother-in-law. (My husband is from India, and the 80th birthday is a big deal.) Before that, it was the 80th for the Raleigh bro-in-law, 6 years ago. And then, I'm embarrassed to say, it was years and years and years.
Great pictures. They brought back memories. On my dad's side of the family we had reunions. On my mom's side the family was small and we visited them often so never had a real reunion. I miss the times we did get together. The older ones are gone now; the rest are so scattered it's hard to get together. I have pictures though. :)
Hi, Beverly. My side of the family is small and scattered, too. And a large part of my husband's family is still in India. That is one reason I like the Internet and especially Facebook: It's a great way to keep in touch with comments and pictures.
Looks like a lovely event with people from many generations.
My family is small, so we don't tend to do big reunions like this. We do all try to get together at Christmas though. Both my side and my partner's side of the family which is nice.
Hi, Kate, my husband and I, being far from our family members, have an "extended family" of family friends going back 50-plus years, and we spend our Christmas with them. Christmas is my favorite holiday.
How lovely to get everyone together. So many families only meet at funerals!
Hi, Julia. Sadly, that is true. It was our niece's idea. Originally it started off small for the nearby relatives as a birthday party for her son when he was little. Then it expanded into a reunion. We've been to a couple of "80th birthday" reunions with the relatives in this country, because in Indian culture the 80th birthday is a big landmark. But this was the first time we went for the general get-together, and it was so nice to see everyone again.
