My Thoughts

Tomorrow I will be on my way to my first family reunion ever (something I’ve always wanted to do). Yes, you read correctly, I have never attended a family reunion on either side of my family, sad but true. Now, we have had mini reunions, usually when someone dies and we get see family we haven’t seen in years or in the case of my dad, when my grandmother got dedicated to her church for her years of service we had a mini reunion, I have the video footage to prove it. But as far as getting the famous T-Shirt with the Family Tree or family name on the back or whatever the design, we have never done that on my dad’s side or on my mom’s side of the family.

On my dad’s side a couple of cousins and myself have decided to take on the daunting task of planning our very first one for next year. So you may see some future blogs entries about this task.

On my mom’s side of the family they just recently started having family reunions or maybe they just recently started including the Houston folks in the festivities. Whatever the case, we got the word this time, not in time enough to get a t-shirt but in time enough to get a hotel room and get things setup to attend the festivities. Maybe at the next one we will get the word soon enough to order our shirts. So OAK GROVE, LOUSIANNA here we come. I know, seems kind of anti-climatic when you think of the location. (near Monroe, LA).
