Family Reunion 2012

6/15/2012

The GOODMAN/GUFFEY/MCCOY reunion turned out to be a very enjoyable day with family. There were about 40 or so family members moving from table to table visiting. Everyone brought dishes to pass and I brought my genealogy books to pass around. Dad's neighbor loaned me a 1954 Tuckerman Yearbook. The yearbook had Mom, Boyce Ray and Una Jo all graduating that year. With all three of them at the reunion, it was good for everyone to see the annual.
Daddy's cousin Mattie Tubbs told me a story about when she was a little girl, Uncle Orden or Uncle LC gave her a penny. She couldn't remember which one gave it to her. She said that Daddy's turned her upside down and shook her by her heels until she let go of that penny because he wanted it. She said that Daddy reminded her a lot of Grandpa Taylor.
I'll post pictures as soon as I get them developed.

A time for everything

Ecclesiastes 3 : King James Version
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

As I prepare for my move to Arkansas, I keep going over these verses in my head. In my heart, I know it is time, yet bittersweet. I look so forward to spending this time with my family and friends in Arkansas. At the same time, I will miss my family and friends in Indiana. Leaving much behind in order to start anew. I just have to keep repeating the verses.
