Greetings!

The 'Cousins' remember the reunions at Grandma and Granddad Hopkins' house in Chickasha....oooh A LONG time ago! Anybody remember what years those took place? The Cousin picture on the blog is from one of those times.

We are long overdue to gather as a clan....there are Aunts, Uncles, 2nd cousins, kids, grandkids, GREAT grandkids (great, great grandkids?) that many of us have never met!

This reunion is important on so many levels. It offers us a way to see who we've become as a family that began with two people...George and Jo Hopkins. Now we are spread out all over the place, come in all shapes, sizes, ages and our unique expression of who we are as individuals.

By gathering again and discovering each other we are investing in the legacy of who we are as a family. Our children, their children and on and on will look at pictures and remember the stories of the past. This links us all together...our ancestors and those that continue 10, 20, 30 and more years from now.

It is important to come! If you want to come and your resources are limited, please let me know. We're figuring out ways to make sure that those that want to come CAN come. Peg Hopkins

P.S.  In the upper right hand corner it says "New Post"...that's where you can write something for this blog.  Let's start talkin'!
