Saturday night

We celebrated my grandmother's 75th birthday Saturday night. Her and her twin sister are the oldest of all their siblings. All the siblings are alive but one brother who died several years ago. Their mother, my great grandmother, is still alive as well. She was there at the party. Oddly enough a school teacher of theirs was there also. WHOA! She had to be ancient. She didn't look that old either. They say she still teaches. It was funny watching my cousins because they all had the lady as a teacher as well. They were all whispering and pointing. Kinda funny!

Grandma was told it was a family reunion. She was surprised. A barbeque dinner was catered but since they thought it was a reunion my grandma's sister cooked alot of food. She said some people needed to repent. Funny coming from a baptist. They all seemed to have a good time. Dad showed old home movies from nearly 30 years ago that were taken down at great grandma's old farm. He had footage of great grandpa who died in 1984. It was kinda sad. I suppose many of the relatives had not seen it and had only seen still photos since his passing.

The party was a good take me back. Made ya feel young again and kinda made you wanna be young again. Dad had the family tree traced back to England on this side of the family. The Fuson family, grandma's maiden name, has some serious longevity. The whole night was cool. We all use to get together often but it has been awhile since I have seen most of them.

Great grandma still owns the land that has been in the family well over 100 years. She has over 600 acres on Center Hill lake. They always farmed it, logged it, and such. It was fun as a child just to run, play, and be adventureous there. Grandma being the oldest had to help farm. It's neat that we both ran and played on the same plot of land. I hope the land always stays in the family.


As for the new profile pic...it was taken during the party as were several other funny pics. Grandma is in the red in the above pic. Her twin sister Barbie is on the right.
