Lots of Faces for Friday

    Hi everyone. Happy last day of July. Today I am joining Nicole over at Friday Face Off and also Gillena over at Friday Lunch Break.  

   Last weekend we had a big family reunion with my husband's family from his Dad's side. All except 2 of the cousins came. The furthest came from California; there were a couple from Long Island (New York), one from Connecticut, his sister and nieces from Maine, us from New Hampshire and everyone else up from Massachusetts. I'm not sure what the final count of people was, but  someone said 38 people because of course almost everyone brought significant others and many people brought not only their kids but also some grand-kids came too.

  This plan started  two years ago my husband's uncle passed away, and at the funeral everyone decided it was too bad the only time we saw people was when someone died. Plus, when you reach a certain age you realize that things can happen and change  life way too fast, so it was the time to do this. 

  These are assorted photos that people shared. I only took a couple of these myself.  AND I know you don't know these folk, but you can get the gist of the party. 😉 Plus there's tons of faces here too!






    Someone tossed a left over shrimp into the pond next to the dock just to see if all the sunfish would go after it. And you can see they did.


   Plus we had to take a big family photo. 


   And ha ha, after all the cousins took their various photo combinations, we took a photo of "Those who were stupid enough to marry into the family."  Ha ha ha ha. They also told me I had to take my sunglasses off, which I think  makes me look weird because I'm used to seeing myself with glasses.


   . There was too much good food, lots of laughs, hugs and plans for another reunion in 2 more years.

  I hope everyone has a great Friday and start to your weekend. Plus just a quick note, I have a friend visiting from North Carolina today so I may NOT get around to visit blogs as quickly as I like. Please bear with me if it takes a bit for me to visit yours.
