Easter, with us always
Why worry about the loaves and the fishes?
If you say the right words, the wine expands.
If you say them with love
and the felt ferocity of that love,
and the felt necessity of that love,
the fish explode into many.
Imagine him, speaking,
and don’t worry about what is reality,
or what is plain, or what is mysterious.
If you were there, it was all those things.
If you can imagine it, it is all those things.
Eat, drink, be happy.
Accept the miracle.
Accept, too, each spoken word,
spoken with love.
Logos, by Mary Oliver, from Why I Wake Early.

Ancestry
Hey guys,
I'm Lizzie, Cindy Seghers oldest (for those who dont remember me, or are confused by my 6 name changes.)
Anyway, I know that everyone is busy gearing up for this year's reunion, which I will be very sorry to miss, but I have a request...
I have begun my own family tree, one which was very much aided by my own father's extensive research on genealogy. However, with the advent of the internet, so much more has become available, and I have been able to trace the Gibsons back further than William Gibson who lived in Tyrone, Ireland from 1705-1771...in fact, I have discovered a Thomas Gibson, William Gibson's great-great-grandfather, who lived in 1540 in Lancashire, England.
Anyway, I would like to make the website available for all...however, I need email addresses. So please, if you are interested in viewing the tree (and even adding your own information), send your email addresses to erepass@willkie.com and I will add you guys.
Miss you all, love you all, and hope to see you two years from now!!

Granny's bisquits.
Aunt Imogene's pickels and butter beans
Uncle Charles fish frys at the lake
Aunt Nita's chicken
Mom's candied sweet potato's
OK keep it going

Facts
FACTS ABOUT EASTER 2008
Easter this year is: Sunday March 23, 2008
* As you may know, Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st fullmoon; after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20).
* This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.
Things you might be interested in!
* Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March22) but that is pretty rare. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here are the facts:
* The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913.
* The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

This is for you, Kathy
Kathy and I were talking about reunion activities last night, and Kent, who does not come to the reunion, suggested activities involving paint guns and running through the woods. While Kathy did not want her children probably even aware of such activites, she did mention something about 'in her day.' I probably told this two years ago, but here it is again.
One hot summer day, Gary, Becky and I were sitting on the lake bank at the Fireman's Club at Beulah. Daddy/Uncle Charles came down the bank and asked what we were doing. "Watching the kids in the water," we said. "When y'all were that age, we just let you go on your own," he said. "We remember," we said, "that's why we're down here watching the kids."
