The Whitman Clan







On Saturday the 15th of December we had all of Keith's brothers and spouses and sister and his Mom over for a get-together. Usually when we get together there are so many kids and grandkids and it seems that the families sit together and they never really get to visit for long. Don't get me wrong, we all enjoy seeing all the kids and grandkids and really don't see them often enough so that they can get to know each other. So Keith decided to put this together. We decided to do it every year. Maybe in the summer out here so the guys can fish is they want. They started coming around noon and we ate at 1:30. The conversations never stopped. We had plenty to eat. We never got out a game or cards. They were happy just to talk. It was between 10 and 11 before everyone went home and I don't think Keith was ready for them to leave! Linda stayed all night with us and we stayed up till after one just talking.
They all made it except Greg. Tom & Mary, Gary & Lorraine, Dave & Linda, Jim & Pam, sister Linda, and of course Keith & I. Greg could not come as they were calling for snow (and got it) and he is in charge of cleaning roads for the county. He was missed. Another reason to have it in the summer next year. I will post a couple picture of the day.

It's nice to see your gang all together and smiling. I bet that was a lot of fun!
