January 4, 2014. At Sea. The Last Supper.

The youngest of our group, Alana, asked an important question: "When will  our relatives be getting together again?"    She enjoyed the gathering in Texas and she has enjoyed the cruise with her cousins and  other relatives.  Now she wants us to organize another event.   We discussed the options but the only celebration in the offing would be birthdays for Diane and Norm.   They are important birthdays for both of them so perhaps they will plan a visit to Italy and have us all come to join them.

We live in many different places:   Hamilton, Ancaster, Montreal, Korea, Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto and Ken and I who are vagabonds, so getting together is not easy.   And we are not prone to plan family reunions, waiting instead for weddings and funerals.  It remains to be seen if that changes.

Everyone from the youngest to the oldest has enjoyed this cruise.   It is tribute to the planning of Dave and Irene.   The ship was so big that the young had unlimited options for activities while the uncles and aunts enjoyed the entertainment.  It was a good choice.  Now we just ate our last dinner together and it was splendid.   Now we move on to the next venture.
