Family Gatherings

I'm slow. Rachel had her blog on the Heagerty Family Reunion up before the reunion was even over. Michelle had hers up yesterday. Both had taken the time and thought into actually taking pictures.

Sonya was joking that when our kids and grandkids and future generations look at the pictures from the reunion that they would be saying "Thats so-and-so. They're dead now." Well, I didn't even bring a camera so I have nothing for future generations to look at. I'm scatter brained that way. It's not that I don't want to take pictures and have treasured memories, it's just that I get caught up in the moment and forget. Too busy visiting to snap pictures.

I guess that over the years I have gotten use to Scott being our family photographer. Since Scott didn't know very many of the Heagerty's before we got there, so I can understand his not thinking of taking pictures either.

So, I have a post with no pictures to attach to help paint the picture of good times, good food and good fellowship.

Rick and Dave recognized me when they arrived. Good thing too because I hadn't seen either one of them since I was a little girl. I couldn't have picked they out of a crowd if asked too. Their sister Sonya, on the other hand, I had seen 13 years ago at my Grandmothers funeral. Sonya is the spitting image of her mother, Aunt Wanda. She has the same infectious laugh and sweet smile. It took me back and I could almost taste and smell Aunt Wanda's blueberry pie.

The weekend was much too short. The late nights and early mornings didn't catch up with me until the 14 hour drive home, and the next day, and the next day.

The family probably wont make these family gatherings a yearly thing. We just aren't that organized. But figuring the good time everyone had, I doubt it will be the last.

And, I'm curious, did Rick and Dave every agree on wether that was their old house or not?
