FAMILY REUNION - THANK YOU

Yup! I'm the first!!

Thank you, Thank you for the wonderful reunion. We are tired, but oh so happy. Grampa is delighted with his book. He is sitting right now and reading it.

He says "Thank you for this special book. It is such a treasure. Thank you for the wonderful thoughts. Everything in the book is so flattering. I don't remember doing a lot of those things, and certainly didn't know I was creating memories. All I know is that I love my children and all the grandkids very much. This, of course, includes all the spouses and greats. I love the book, it means a lot to me. I just hope and pray that you won't forget the 'teachings' you all feel that you have gleaned from the experiences we've shared." -- Love, Grampa

It is always fun to see everyone enjoying each other. We thought the baseball was such a great way to get EVERYONE - all ages - to interact. We loved seeing how everyone helped everyone else and cheered each person on. Thank you for being so kind to each other.

The food was outstanding. Thanks to everyone.

Also, a special thanks to Sylvia for the cousin pillow cases, face painting, beads etc. etc. Sylvia an ideas person who has a great knack for putting things together. We are so glad you are a 'hudkins'.

Most of all - thank you to Jenny and her committee for the hours and hours of organization and running and preparing and ...and...and, I just hope you are not out any cash. We don't want that to happen. A job well done. We all appreciate it very very much.

Love you all much. Thanks for choosing to come to our family!

Love always,
Gramma

We missed those who were not able to come and want you to know that we love you very much too. Hopefully next time work, the border and other stuff won't get in the way.

Love,
Gramma
