family reunions, sometimes they happen

I was out at my mother's cousin's place today for a family reunion for the Hewitt side of the family (my Grandmother's family). This was something I was both dreading and looking forward to. I am not a huge family get-together person (or any get togethering for that matter) but I was really looking forward to seeing my cousin, her family, her parents.... and I knew it would mean a lot to my grandmother since only about a month ago did many of us get together for my Poppop's funeral.The group shot was rather complicated and I didn't get one myself, I'll have to wait until it's sent around via email for people to grab. I want to post that with the one taken from the reunion about 15 years ago at the same place. The eldest child of one of my cousins was almost 2 years old and this time around he had just graduated from high school. My time flies.I did get some shots of Sheryl and I. One came out great, one... well, I'd be happy if all my little roly poly parts weren't there.

Once I get my copy of the group shot I'll stick it here with the scanned photo of all us "kids" from 1993!This was my weekend. Yesterday I stayed home in the pouring rain, heat, humidity and played on the laptop and helped Shawn out with some stuff. (Long story short, we had to get a Wii for reasons I cannot explain and my arm is now sore from playing tennis for an hour last night!)Work tomorrow. Sigh.[PS. I am currently sitting outside on my deck on a lounge chair I inherited from my Poppop while writing this. It's gotten dark enough that I can see my screen ok, too. Not too many bugs bugging me but as soon as the gigantic spiders start making an appearance I am so back inside. I just needed to express my excitement at being able to computerize outdoors. Woot! Thank you.]
