If there is food I will be happy to be family if you'll take a Lemoine. 😁
With all my Louisiana relatives going back 319 years, we're bound to be related somewhere.

Today is the reunion, really don’t want to go, but gave my word, DONT like to be around crowds, most of my people have passed away, Daughter is coming, her thing is genology so she woll meet cousins she doesn’t know. Fancy place, we always had the reunions at low rent halls but enjoyed them very much. Now big cheese lawyer who never came to the reunions is ponying up for the fancy place, guess I will remain mum around him, his father who passed and I are the only ones who went to war. Gonna be nice guy there for wife and daughters sake. I Garronte!

We have stopped having family reunions after the last of my brothers and sisters died. Towards the end I didn't know most of the people there. Great great great neices and nephews and cousins from I don't know where. The only family I am in touch with these days are a half dozen of my nephews and their wives. Just glad to have them. My 2 brothers and my oldest sister died within 6 months of each other and the last reunion was the loneliest ever.

Wife asked if I wanted to wear my Fathers large diamond ring, I politely told her you know I'm not a diamond ring guy. |

I apologize about going on about this reunion, I only go on the porch to smoke and the feed store at tractor supply, so it’s unusual outing for me.

A nice picture, and good on you guys getting together.
Things are sooo different now, growing up Wichita was the center of our hub, we had regular get togethers and reunions.
A lot of family moved away, and my kids generation know nobody from my generation.
I am heading up a family reunion for my generation of the family on Colorado Springs during the week of June 9th, expecting about 75.
The week after that, taking the wife to Montana.

Next to him, holding the wine glass. Got there a little late it started at 1 o’clock, waited for Daughter from Mandeville, got there at 3 , walked in, wine glass man shouted, Bradley, he turned and shut the DJ down, everyone. Got quiet, he came and hugged me and shouted we can take pictures now he’s here. Wonders never seize, I never held up anything in my life, he was a complete surprise, gracious and humble,

My wife ran a resturant and lounge, came back from Asia, went there one night, sat at end of bar the guys were all trying to impress her. I came several times and sat at end of bar. She started talking to me, the rest is history, I won, she lost. HaHa

It sounds like not such a trying day after all, and quite rewarding. Sometimes we need the nudging out of our comfort zone for our own benefit.
It must have been pretty cool to meet family from across the pond, and great that they made the trip.
