Reunion

My family and I just returned from a 5 day family reunion in Miami Florida. The excuse was to celebrate my sister's 55th birthday party. She decided to have a big celebration and everyone was supposed to wear outfits with the colour blue. It was a lovely time away, a break from the daily routine.

The photo above is of a beach in Key West, we were able to go there for a day.

And welcome to the month of March!

Family Reunion

Here is an interesting list for you today:

We have been having a lot of summer visitors from out of town, relatives we don't see very often at all. Last night we had a wonderful reunion dinner at a restaurant with cousins from my dad's side of the family. We had never met one cousin's wife and kids. My departed dad had about 9 siblings some of whom have also passed away. So there were 5
children from 4 of the siblings there last night. It was kind of a neat cousin gathering, we are all in our fifties now.

Family Reunion

Last week my cousin invited me to lunch.  He said his parents were in town, and also a visiting uncle and his wife.  So I took son K and my mom to meet with everyone.  There were 11 of us in total.  We tried this new'ish Japanese restaurant.  I thought these were pretty dishes they had at the table.

I enjoyed talking with my aunt and uncle on my deceased dad's side of the family.  Apparently we all share a love for all you can eat oysters on the shell and crab.
