Even so, when Kelly brought in her one color picture of the trek, it was good enough to be considered for more than just and see if they would consider using it and turning it into a throw," she said. Unusual enough and fitting the Sesquicentennial theme the company was looking for, the artwork was accepted and the finished project is a reproduction of Tanners watercolor. It turned out so nice, Lynn said. They stayed with the browns, but also wove some black in the picture and the lettering and border, she said. It is really pret- framing.

Reunions are nothing less than a family's roots brought to the surface. To know these roots is to fulfill a need that has been in humans from the beginning, and will be with us to the end. Knowing one's roots ties the current with the past Alex and provides a bridge to the future. up-da- te - 1 tamily reunions properly planned can anchor to .H tybe toa powerful the extended family in times of give stabili-J- well-plann- ' 5- In a reunion of any size, there will have been some deaths since the last gathering and babies who have joined the family.

Activity-oriente- d games with prizes for everyone. Food prepared with nostalgic family recipes and memories. Free time for getting reacquainted with relatives and updating of past and up. coming family activities. Helping children adjust Family reunions with lots of cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents can be pretty overwhelming for young children. You can help little ones prepare for this by talking about the people who will be there, where they live and what they do. Also, look at pictures of the folks. Being able to recognize people and knowing a little about them can help youngsters warm up a little quicker to Uncle Bob, Aunt Sally, Grandma, or whomever. And once the whole familys together, be sure to make some time to break away from the group so little ones can touch base with Mom and Dad. Bonds established at family reunions can transcend generations and can provide a sense of belonging and affiliation.
