Family Reunion

We had a wonderful time at out Johnson/Wetherington Family Reunion today...almost everyone was able to attend and we took the first group picture in years!!


Here is the reunion quilt I made several years ago where we all signed. I made  the Irish Chain pattern since we are of Scoth Irish descent and it is had appliqued, hand quilted and embellished with y0-yos made by my mama and aunt. We use it to display pictures of our relatives.


Here is the church that my grandmother attended and where we all went as children for homecomings 


and ate dinner on the grounds under these pine trees with wire strung between and table cloths spread for our feast...




memories.


Thank you Lord for the blessing of family.

  6. Wow, that looks just like a church I've been to. Even the grounds look similar if not the same. Do you mind if I ask you the name of the church? If it's not the same church I'm stunned that it looks like the one I'm thinking of!
