Arrived at Grand Bayou

This is all of the family that showed this year

We spent some time at the cemetery visiting

We had a great site at Grand Bayou

Every year we have a family reunion with Sherri's side of the family. They have been having this reunion since her Uncle T.G. Thomas returned from WWII. TG owned land near the cemetery and we would have the gathering there. But now that he and so many others have passed on we moved it to the RV park on Grand Bayou.
All the folks in the family that own RVs rent them a spot to park in for 4 or 5 days and we visit and have a pot luck on the Saturday night before the memorial service on Sunday. All the family comes and gathers at the resort there. Some rent cabins and those that live close enough just drive over for the day. It has always been a fun time. Many stories are told about those that have gone before us and we keep so many memories alive in doing so.
I am afraid, however, that that may all be coming to an end. With the older generation gone the younger folks don't show up any longer and so goes the history of the family. It is sad to see this but I guess it happens to all families sooner or later.
My family was never this close and I know very little about them because of that. We hope to continue to go as long as we are able and hopefully by doing so we can build the attendance back up...
