March 26, 2008 | Reunion 2008 | Comments [13]
Look at just a short sketch that I worked out for Dad and Me and Maria and Lainie and Casey Anne.
For seven whole days….In one of those beautiful Chalets (I have my heart set on)
They have a double bed…..for two
A loft with twin beds….for two more
Rent a rollaway for $6.00 (for seven days) for one person($6.00 more)
SO….$115.00 for 7 days = $805.00
MARIA 200.00
LAINIE 200.00
DAD AND ME 405.00
EXTRA 84.00 (for the rollaway and extra person)
Maria Pay $26.00
Lainie Pay $26.00
Dad and Me pay $26.00
On Our Credit Card……………$431.00
On Maria’s Card………………….. 226.00
On Lainie’s Card…………………..226.00
Where are we going to find luxuray such as this for seven days? This is simply an example. No one is nailed to the wall. Dad told me to stop worrying. I’m not worrying. I’m just excited. Meanwhile, Brenda, just tell me what to do to get one of those absolutely lovely chalets reserved for dad and me, and then we’ll figure who will stay with us and pick up part of the tab.
OH, THIS TIME IS GOING TO PASS SO SLOWLY.
Phones??

You all might already have been doing this but perhaps some of you should make some phone calls to each other. It might be easier than posting, and definitely faster. of course, i guess not cheaper though. anyway, thanks for all the hard work everyone is doing to research ideas for the reunion. Just want you to know that everyone else appreciates it! I love all the ideas – oak mountain, hotels, dinners, activities, etc – and reading you guys talk about it is making me look forward to it more and more. I’m sure whatever the final concensus is that we will all have fun.
I want to cancel this

excuse me, but I didn’t even mean to start this, and can’t get out of it. Oh well since it’s started I will address it instead to BEN
No, Ben, you are not being negative at all. We have only begun to think of what we should do. Dad wanted to grab those cabins in case we let them slip, and then were sorry.We have plenty of time to cancel. They will sleep seven very comfortably. That’s 21 in three cabins. We were thinking maybe you and Julie, who might like to retire, tired at night with small children, could go to a pretty cabin with lots of room, and put the babies down. A lot roomier than a motel room. Or an RV. I’m still set on having three cabins. Bill and Nancy with their three rambunctious children may like to retire at night with their three kiddies to a cabin, also, and put their little ones down to sleep. As for the third cabin, would some of you like Jason, and Carmen, and Teyla, and Jordan, and somebody else like to have it????
Now that I mention Bud….How about you and your four children and Melissa and another favorite cousin take it???
Just asking-It’s probably being rented, even as I type
Reunion Date
March 21, 2008 | Reunion 2008 | Comments [5]
I can come anytime but since we need a date how about the last weekend in July?? That’s the weekend of the 26th. Yes or No? Everyone needs to answer even if it’s yes. And converse with other family members that may not check the site that often and find out if it seems good for them too.

YOU MUST GO THERE TO POST COMMENTS, ETC. COMMENTS HAVE BEEN DISABLED ON THIS POST SO THAT WE WON’T HAVE TO GO LOOK IN TWO PLACES!!! – BILL
This is something we need to do! August is only six months away. I name this month, because it’s the last month of summer, which is the time that the kids are out of school, but only in early August. I’m racking my brain on how to go about it. MONEY would make it easier. Aunt Lucille was around to make the last two reunions so easy. She just pulled out a matured bond, and asked me if I thought it would be enough for the second reunion. I thought it was probably for about $5,000. It was for $20,000. I’m just not accustomed to thinking that big. And for some people, it’s just a drop in the ocean. It was for her. I remember that she commented one time that she wouldn’t want to live if she didn’t have her money, or something to that effect. Daddy told me. I can completely understand that. It would be so difficult to go from riches to rags, but many people have had that experience. Aunt Lucille had been so used to having riches for so very long that she wouldn’t have been able to handle life very well without it. At least, not at her very advanced years. But she gave a lot of money away to family members. She really did go to the aid of many of her people, when they were stuck in the mire and couldn’t get out.But I think my subject was Family Reunion. We could make it very simple. Just three days of fun and frolic somewhere. And each of us taking care of our own expenses. Birmingham would be the obvious place to gather, because it’s a central point. We could settle on a motel. All of us stay in the same one. Even those who live in Birmingham might want to just take off and stay for three days in the motel. We would have a pool, and we could locate some restaurants in advance. But the stickler would be entertainment for the kids, of course. The pool would be the main attraction, then back to the motel, TV, and naps. I should call Faye and ask what they did exactly. They stayed in the same Motel. All twelve kids showed up, and 27 of their grandchildren (they have 36 now). They just stayed in the same motel, ate out. And just had fun together. They did this in a place close to Tuscaloosa (I think??) I would have to ask. Danny told me they had a blast. I’m not sure if he meant a good blast or a bad blast, but i’m sure he meant good one.
Now, Let’s get busy on this. I have to for sure, because Luis is the one that will be dragging his feet.
I wish I could remember the name of that place that we stayed at close to Sterrett, Al. at the second reunion with Aunt Lucille in 1993. It was Pine Something. It was just so nice.
Those of you that went have to agree. We had our rooms. And the best part was the restaurant that served our three meals a day. And then there were activities. Boating, Volleyball, etc.
I have a sad feeling that that place is out of business. I don’t know why, because I loved it. Will somebody try to find out about it???
