Mom's sisters try to get together once a year but haven't been able to do it for awhile.
Beings two of them are down here in the winter months
the other four decided to come visit and have their get together here!
I was thrilled because I rarely get to go to family reunions since
we live so far away from most of the family.
Yesterday Aunt Edna hosted them and two of us nieces were honored to
join them for lunch. Edna made some delicious lentil soup, sandwiches, and fresh fruit.
Back row: Uncle Danny with wife, Edna, in front of him, Aunt Dorothy (Ohio)
Cousin Pam (Mi.), Mom
Front Row: Aunt Ruth (Mi.), Aunt Lois (Mi.), Aunt Alma (Mi.), Aunt Rose (Mi.)
Mom is the oldest and Aunt Ruth is the youngest.
Interestingly enough there are 13 kids in this family and the oldest is
25 years older than the youngest.
They are having a great time together and make me look forward to the time
when my three sisters and I can have vacations together, too...
after our kids are all grown and have flown the nest.
Tomorrow I get to host them for lunch!
Meanwhile on the other side of town....
the "Weaver Sisters" are here, too!
Diane flew in from Montana for ten days and Betty and Larry are here from PA. for two weeks.
What fun we have had getting together with them, too!
We fill poor Grandma's living room clear up to the brim but that's where we all want to be.
We just pull up another chair or sit on the floor as more arrive.
And of course, there's always food....
Mmm-mmmm!
Aww.....sister time is wonderful! So glad they got to do this, your time will come, too.:-)Last Sept. was the first time us 5 sisters & Mom got to get together without any of the children. We had a wonderful time....made some great memories!
