Now of course, the simplist and I think most unfortunate way to stay in touch with most is by sites like Facebook. In person is better but Facebook has its place and we sure enjoy it for staying in touch with old friends and fsmily.<BR/><BR/>JohnUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538321744304618243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13469906.post-24074464476385051512009-03-06T07:09:00.000-05:002009-03-06T07:09:00.000-05:00We also had huge family reunions as I was growing ...We also had huge family reunions as I was growing up. I have 49 first cousins and we loved our annual get togethers!<BR/><BR/>One thing that large reunions can be attributed to is the fact that there was not a lot of opportunity for fun. People worked hard to survive and build a life. There were very few chances for frivolity. Today we are turned inward for our entertainment (TV, computer, electronic whatevers); then they relished the time when they could get together with others.<BR/><BR/>I miss those reunions. I now keep in contact with just a handful of my cousins.Presbyterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628618488486799177noreply@blogger.com
