Let's Get Going Again...


Hello there family! I suppose that we have been on a mental vacation or something and haven’t really updated the family blog site for about 5 months.

In the spirit of repentance, I am ready to improve and do a little more work…

I would like to start off with a question to which I would like each of you to respond. If you send me your responses (via e-mail), then I will post them and compose a blog entry that tries to bring all of the responses into something cohesive. The best e-mail to use for this is NorthShoreHI@gmail.com, although you could use any of my e-mails and I will eventually get around to reading it...

The question for this week is:

“What is your favorite memory of Grandma Watkins?”

You will notice that I have posted a photo of Grandma from some wedding. I don't recognize hardly anyone in the photo - but I am assured that Grandma is one of the people there...

Please send me your responses as soon as you can, and I will post them. I would also like to get a real survey about where and exactly when in 2007 that our family reunion should be. We received four responses for our next reunion - two suggested every year (Mom & Craig), two every other year (Steph & Stacy - and then alternating summer and winter get togethers). We really need at least one more response to break the tie.

We are suggesting something around July 4th, 2007 - and a Utah venue, maybe near to Lake Powell (or Hawaii - but we would have to shop carefully for tickets). Any other ideas?

Thanks

UPDATE 18 July, 2006: Well, Sherri just called me on the phone and said that she was OK with meeting every other year as well, and suggested the summer of 2007 in Utah (maybe even at her new home).
