Over this past weekend, we got together with members of my mother’s family for a “Beauchamp Family Lunch.” At this point, this is the closest we’ll come to a reunion, because of distance and health issues of some members. But we had such a good time! Sharing a meal, trading stories, looking at old photos, taking new ones for our tree.
And most importantly, the best result of reconnecting is renewing kinship. Time and life itself puts distance between siblings, cousins, even whole branches of the same family. It was so good to see each other, face to face, to give hugs and kisses, to make new memories to carry us on to the next time we can get together and renew our family ties.
I’d love to know: Other than through family reunions, how does your family “keep in touch?”

When will you be reuniting with us and put up a new post? Is all okay?

Feeling very guilty, but seems this summer has been super busy, and I’ve been lax in my duties as a newbie blogger. Hope to rectify that soon. Got lots of ideas, especially from family reunion earlier this month. Got to get them down on paper.
