Flashback to the 70's: This is a picture of my Dad, his mother and brothers and sisters.
My Grandma and 2 of my uncles are no longer with us. But, the rest of the family still tries to get together for a family reunion once a year.
In case anyone is wondering, my Dad is the first person on the left in the front row - wearing that super cool green leisure suit!!!
We meet at my Uncle Johnny Wayne's farm (Yes, guess who he is named after) and the brothers ride on horses and the sister's ride on a wagon to the cemetery where Grandma and Grandpa are buried. Then everyone rides back to the farm and we eat like nobody's business.
That family reunion for 2008 is tomorrow and I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone!!! :)
Now, go visit Candid Carrie to participate in the Friday Foto Fiesta Finish or just to see more pictures!!!
Have a great weekend!
