We just finished a regional family reunion for the Garlock Family (Shawn's people). It was a lot of work - - mostly for Shawn, but it was worth it; pictures will follow at a later date. We had a great time getting everyone together. We made new acquaintences and rekindled old ones; and we once again learned the value of family. I loved seeing our children along with our nieces (Leigh & Annie) and our nephew (Marc). It was good to spend time with Kenna, Matt and Brandon (Go), and get to know them better; what high quality people. Your children were so much fun to be around. You all are doing such a good job loving, caring, and rearing your own families. I am sure your parents and our HF is proud of each of you.
Without trying to be too meloncholy, I think I caught a little clearer glimpse into the eternal worlds, where each generation is linked to another and where love abounds. Thank you all for sharing your time and your children with us. It was a meaningful experience for me.......and I'm not even a REAL member of the Garlock family........just a spouse.

Yes - it was a great time! We appreciate all the work you and Shawn put into it. Thanks for having us.
I appreciate you both as well. Leigh and Matt and Halbert had such a wonderous time! Thank you for loving them like your own. Hindsite: I wish I would have packed my olives and come. I do I do I do.
Congrats on a fun reunion. The Southwest reunion is planned for Lake Powell on July 30th. Mike was at the lake yesterday and was side swiped by a boat who didn't see them sitting there waiting to get a wakeboard on. $8000+ worth of damage and Mike's back got wrenched---again. Hopefully it will be fixed and ready to go by the. Ruth and Grant should be coming.
