Days remembered as a child came back this weekend as we met at Rock Creek Camp located at Possum Kingdom Lake near Graham, Texas. Wildfires were all around us but we still enjoyed visiting with each other.
In the above picture is my my dad's brothers and sister....we also remembered the 2 brothers that are no longer with us as well as their Mom and Dad.
We had such good times as kids going to visit Granny and all the Aunts, Uncles, and many cousins that would also come. This weekend we had the joy of stepping back in time and remembering those fond childhood memories.
I'm hoping that the youngest generations are making some fond memories that one day will have them stepping back into time and remembering the fun times they shared with their cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.

Well I enjoyed visiting with everyone and I know in some ways it will seem like forever before next April is here once again. I'm so glad we do these reunions there is nothing quite like FAMILY!!!!
Happy Trails.....Ginger

You do have a wonderful family. What an awesome time you all must have had. Lotsa love there!! :)
Oh don't you just love reunions. Great memory time.
Makes me want to run up north and visit my brother and sister. It's been way too long since we were together like that. Memories and sharing and hugs. . .. you just can't beat those times, can you???? So glad you could this!!!
I had read about those fires and I remembered that you had went there last year. I kept thinking about it I had no idea that you were going this year. I am glad that the smoke wasn't too bad and you still got to enjoy your extended family.
You are so blessed.
It looks like you had a wonderful family reunion!
Hi,
I'm trying to find out if my Grandparents place is ok. They kive at the end of Robinson Rd, off of the road to Rock Creek Camp, (if you take the road by the honkey tonk - the honeydew or something like that.) I can't get in touch with anyone, and the house is empty right now. If you get a chance could you email me a short note? I would so appreciate your help!

BTW, I snooped around your blog a little and the pics are breathtaking. I enjoyed your writing immensely, although it made me long for family that never gathers at the lake anymore.
