My circle of family

We had our family reunion this weekend with 6 aunts and uncles in their 80's and 90's from my mother's generation of 12 plus 15 cousins, their spouses and partners from my generation of 26 in our 50's to 70's. We filled 8 tables of four. We chatted, laughed and shared stories from 5 generations: our grandparents, parents, us, our children and grandchildren.

I went home with a set of letters from my grandmother to her mother-in-law written in 1905 and a promise to share photos from this reunion.
