Joe and I flew to Georgia on May 15th for our annual family reunion. It was really pretty strange returning after being gone for six months. We drove to Denver the night before so we could catch our early flight to Dallas and then on to Atlanta.
It was a very uneventful flight and we had no problems with our car rental either. We did stop in Perry, however, and eat at our favorite Chinese restaurant - Hong Kong Buffet.
Then it was on to Mom and Dad's home and see them. I cannot begin to express how wonderful it was seeing them again. (More about that later).
We then left and went to spend the next few days with Ann Johnson at her home. She was our friend and neighbor who lives behind our old home. We spent many a late night catching up on everything.
Throughout the course of the week, we had the opportunity to visit with many friends and family. There was always an underlying knowledge of knowing that we might never see some of them again.
The reunion on Sunday was nice - getting to visit with family and eating the food - especially Aunt Rachel's chicken and dumplings!
Those dumplings are the best, and that is coming from and outsider!
