This is most of my family that got together for a reunion last weekend in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. My immediate family starts about five folks from the left after two of my nephews, my sister and niece. I'm standing behind Sue with my eyes closed and the boys are in front of her. Then my mom is a little more to the right in the white shirt up front. My brother, his wife and other son are just to her right.

My Uncle Jack's son Alan and his wife Jonna (two in from the right with their son and daughter) did a great job of organizing the weekend. They even supplied meals all weekend except Sunday's lunch for $25 per adult.

Uncle Jack paid for this magnificent cabin for the family before he passed away in June. Mom's remaining brothers and sister were all there along with a lot of other cousins. My cousin Lyndon came from Oregon and Kerry came from the U.P. Some of my mom's cousins came from Texas.

The cabin slept 34, but I think we had more in there with futons, cots and couches. The lower floor had 2 hot tubs / jacuzzis on the deck and a pool table, air hockey and foosball in the game area. The resort also had a pool at the foot of the mountain which we used about every day. A few folks stayed at a hotel in town.

It was great to catch up with everyone. Sunday morning we decided to have worship at the cabin rather than try to get everyone ready and go out to a local church. It was a great service with great singing. Alan shared a memorial DVD of Uncle Jack which included the song I wrote and recorded for him. Uncle Auburn had a devotional thought and Jonna even brought enough communion for everyone.

a little taste of heaven :-)
