100th Annual Wilber Reunion
Actually it was the Wilber, Rowe, Foster Reunion.
My grandparents grew up, married, and started a family in the Butternut Valley. It is beautiful there. The farmlands are stunning. I have always loved being there... as if I was going home again. Every summer there is a reunion. I have missed it for a few years... (it's also Madison-Bouckville Antique show the same weekend ;) But this year the antiques would have to wait. It was important to my grandfather that all who could attend, would. It was nice to see everyone. 90 people were in attendance. Lots of old photos were passed around, genealogy being gathered, and great food being eaten. After the reunion my grandfather drove us up to the old family farm were he grew up. He shared a lot of memories with us. It was sooo nice. There was no one home at the farm so we took the opportunity to walk around a little bit.
We had a really beautiful day.
*** Sorry about the sloppy collages. I had so many pictures to share and not a lot time to fuss. You can click onto to the pictures to view them larger.

The VanScoy House
This was my great great grandparents home.
It was also the first house that my grandparents had. It's one of my favorites.
Grandpa and the Barn
My grandmother's old school house.
I can't take 100% credit for this find. My Uncle Paul thought this would make a nice shot. So I walked around and found the best angle. Love this picture... it's by the schoolhouse.
Thanks for taking this walk with me.

*** If anyone is wondering where Brian is... he is in Canada fishing with my dad and brother (Patrick). I'll have pictures to post from their trip in a few days. :)))
