A Starry Night

This past weekend Mom and Dad had a wonderful time at a family reunion and party at the farm. Folks came from as far away as Texas, North Carolina, Maine, Georgia, Pennsylvania and upstate New York. Mom loved having her sisters, her brother and their families all together - plus some of her cousins too. She also had friends there from elementary school through graduate school. Mom and Dad were able to meet a few young great-nieces and nephews for the first time, as well as connect with dear friends some of whom they had not seen a while. It was a weekend full of stories, laughs and great food that culminated with "A Starry Night" party in the barn. 

We hope to share some photos in the next few weeks, but I wanted to say a quick note of thanks to the many awesome people who helped Katharine, Michael and me plan and host the reunion. Also heartfelt thanks to all who were able to come - you being there is what made it so special.

As Mom said to everyone in the barn that night she has really felt lifted by everyone's prayers. Thank you.
