Wow! That's my first reaction when asked about the Haines Reunion. So many people traveled so far to be there, and all the kids got along very well, even though many had never met each other. I want to give a special thanks to Debbie and Kim Sherwood and their kids; Shawna, Rachelle, Aaron,Claryce, Shurell and their spouses for all the cooking, crafts and water sports that they provided. The whole family worked hard to make this a great time. It was so nice to see the whole Haines group pitching in to help with cooking, cleaning and kid care.
I had such a great time visiting with long-lost family members, and made wonderful new friends. The auction was great fun, and thanks to everyone that brought things to donate. There was such a wonderful spirit of love and cooperation throughout the weekend, it's hard to put it into words. This is what makes family have meaning, the idea that we are all connected by blood and spirit.
Thanks everyone for coming!

Elaine and David put A LOT into making this reunion successful also.
ReplyDeleteElaine spent hours on the book she put together, and both her and David went the extra mile in bringing a trailer for Jerryne and kids to sleep in, and lots of extra water, soda pop, etc. Thanks so much to them!! debbie
