Reliving Reunion Through the Pictures

I had a challenging July--some minor health issues--but am doing well now. I just now took the time to view all the pictures and videos and found myself laughing out loud all by myself while watching them. A big big thank you to all of you who are photographers and kept these memories alive for all of us. You know, as I watched Mom (Cleora) play her harmonica and Dad (Austin) punch that little toy top....I realized that that short little video clip will be absolutely priceless to us in another 10 year!

I loved reliving the blanket service project, the maypole, the Olympics. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Now, I hope this blog doesn't die. Please take time to add your family updates and news with all of us.

Here's a start:
Leslie Koyle (Rebecca's daughter, Cleora's granddaughter) just had a baby girl on August 4th. She had some lung complications but is improving miraculously. Garth and Leslie are naming her Paige Koyle--quite distinguished name, I think. I can see it now--some novel by Paige Koyle!

Mom (Cleora) continues to care for Dad's (Austin) needs. Somedays are better than others. Once Mom saw an old friend at the grocery store. The friend asked Mom how she was doing and Mom replied that some days were better than others but all in all--"it could be worse". The friend then asked her how Austin was doing. Mom replied. "He's worse!" Dad's humor must be rubbing off on Mom....who said she could be the comedian?

Add your news for all of us to know about. I love you, family. From Marcia PS: Don't forget to reserve next year...June 24, 25, and 26, 2010 for our Reunion. I've already paid the reservation fee with the City of Albion.
