And if we are known to each other in glory, I feel like I will be so ahead of the game having learned who they are doing genealogy!

I am sorry that the family that gathered for reunions ended them so long ago. I'm sure you would have loved to attend. Sometimes I think that my cousins and I should work on one, but life tugs in so many opposite directions. A very happy New Year to you, Podso!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23132042.post-74253113655410194182012-01-01T19:27:10.520-05:002012-01-01T19:27:10.520-05:00How wonderful to find a photo like that of one'...How wonderful to find a photo like that of one's family! <br />Hugs, CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984727854409721822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23132042.post-7374921108412440552011-12-30T22:12:02.437-05:002011-12-30T22:12:02.437-05:00What an amazing photo to have!

My husband will be the last here that knew his relatives in Italy well. I wonder if our blogs will survive forever for future generations to read? <br /><br />Wishing you and your family a very Happy & Healthy New Year!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23132042.post-17944685433921449112011-12-30T07:09:30.113-05:002011-12-30T07:09:30.113-05:00What a treasure to have that photo, Dotsie!

We used to run and play with our cousins, though we were rarely able to attend we always lived so far away. This brings back some good memories. <br /><br />I know you are enjoying your reunion!! And, what do you think these blogs will be of our days?? Do you think they will still be floating around in cyberspace for our families-to-be? Do you think they will research them? Interesting to think about. <br /><br />Happiest of new years to you and yours, Dotsie! blessings ~ tannaTannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484104973009411729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23132042.post-26903288580231467732011-12-29T21:24:20.312-05:002011-12-29T21:24:20.312-05:00Podso,

My cousins, always tell me the best thing about our family reunions was me. I made it fun for them. We have Irish heritage. Our father's all played string instruments. I love to dance...the freedom of expression it brings to one's soul! As our fathers played, I'd take the cousins by the hand and we'd form a huge circle around them and dance! Sometimes similiar to "Ring around Rosie" or we'd find a huge tree and do a "May Pole" effect! I'm pleased that they remember. I just had to dance...still do...whenever there's music! Thanks for those memories today!<br />Fondly,<br />Pat<br />P.S. I think the "thing" on your family members head is a lantern. Not really sitting on his head...just appears that way. In the photo there appears to be another under the roof of the porch at the house!On Crooked Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194554531505722292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23132042.post-15677784663152361152011-12-29T20:50:55.161-05:002011-12-29T20:50:55.161-05:00Seeing that marvelous photo makes me remember that...Seeing that marvelous photo makes me remember that it is important to print some of these digital photos.

With seventeen children and their families (I have 39 first cousins), it was a big event held on the grounds of the church which they grew up in. <br /><br />I can just imagine what kinds of foods those ladies brought to your family reunion. It would be fun to view photos of those heavily laden tables.<br /><br />Enjoy your own family reunion. I certainly am enjoying mine!<br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.com
