Family reunion

I'm leaving later today to attend a family reunion. Many relatives from my dad's side of the family will gather for food and fellowship. It should be interesting and fun, I guess. I say that because I find that I have little in common with many of these people. I have one uncle who is still living, but he is a quiet sort, not given to much conversation. My dad will be there, of course, and it really is for him that I am going. I will get to spend time with my cousins, but most of them are much older than me, so much so that I didn't interact with them much when I was a kid. They were already grown and with kids of their own. Also, very few of them share my faith and values. They just have a different mind-set than I do. Still, it will be a chance to reconnect with some. Plus, my brother is coming....and I'm really excited about that! Til later...
