You are so fortunate to have such a caring extended family. I grew up much the same way, spending lots of time with cousins at frequent family gatherings. Nowadays, it's hard to get all my own children together at one time, let alone extended family!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-18235875675784648532016-07-31T13:27:08.068-06:002016-07-31T13:27:08.068-06:00Sally, I just love this post!

It's so true that there is always a part of us that stays young (and that carries those images from the past, filled with long departed loved ones, with us always). And Barbara Bush's comment is so insightful and true! The pictures of your various celebrations are so wonderful! I love the fact that you so enjoy being together. That's not something that I, as a psychotherapist or as a member of a very different sort of family constellation, ever take for granted! You're truly blessed with family (and I hope soon, with good health once again)!Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-71155330970872565952016-07-29T11:36:55.266-06:002016-07-29T11:36:55.266-06:00Wonderful, and much like my childhood although bot...Wonderful, and much like my childhood although both my parents were from large families. I was born in 47 and was an adult before I realized that not everyone grew up with dozens of cousins, most born within months of my birth or a few years older.

Perhaps they are all the more meaningful to me coming the week after Rick's family reunion -- lots of family for a lot of days! I am so very grateful you had this wonderful experience this summer and I also enjoyed your sharing the terrific vintage photos of your earlier years!
