My Grandpa and Grandma Giles had 5 kids. Last year, Grandpa turned 90, so his kids decided it was time to get everyone, kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids, together for a reunion. The last time we were all together was in 1988 or 1989, nobody is quite sure on the date. For two days, July 17th and 18th, we renewed old relationships and made new ones as we met spouses and kids of cousins we haven't seen in ages. It was wonderful to see everyone together. Uncle Noel told Grandpa to look at what he'd done as things were winding down on the 18th, and Grandpa said it looked like 60 nuts had fallen from the tree. It's a pretty good strong tree though Grandpa.
