Edwards Reunion 2008



Brandon and I had a great time down home in Williamsburg, KY. I really enjoyed seeing cousins I have not seen in so long! Mom & Dad do this reunion at their farm every year; I think this is the third or fourth year in a row. Different family members come each year. Some try to come very year. We had about 160 attending last year, but only about half that this year. Good food and fellowship were had by all, even Peaches, Daddy's loyal yellow lab.

My mom & dad


Peaches, Daddy's loyal yellow lab. I call her Sis.


This is my cousin Toni. Ok, she is not really my cousin. She is my Aunt Betty's caregiver/nurse. Toni is awesome!


My precious Aunt Betty (Edwards) Enz. She has Parkinson's, BUT she has an amazing attitude and very sharp wit and sense of humor! She cracks me up! I love this woman!!

We both love butterflies in an obsessive way!!
