The annual Emerson Family Reunion was held on Sunday, September 21st. We are grateful, as always, to Amy Moore for hosting this yearly get-together.
We were delighted that our eldest Emerson, Nelson (91 years young), was able to attend.
And we rejoiced together when the youngest Emerson, Levi Carlton Emerson (2 1/2 weeks) made an appearance, too!
We enjoyed watching the next youngest, Ezra Poteat, making his “rounds” during the afternoon. And the newest “In-Law” was introduced — Liz Emerson, Craig’s beautiful bride!
It was good to have Mary Thompson (Buck’s daughter) join us from Texas. She shared a beautiful PowerPoint tribute to her parents, Brandon & Elizabeth Emerson.
Children had fun crabbing, canoeing, and playing on the trampoline; while adults spent the afternoon laughing, joking (Yes, Sherwood was there!), and reminiscing. And, of course, there was tons of good food!
Just a reminder to the photographers who were snapping pictures during the afternoon — please send me your digital photos so we can share the goodness with those who weren’t able to attend!
Liz shared her business card, announcing her new Mary Kay business. We Emersons are a naturally beautiful bunch, but if you decide you need a little help, here’s the person to call!
It was a good day … thank you, Amy, for inviting us … and thank you to all who came …
Thanks for posting this well written news item.
Nel is 91.
Thanks … I just got the correction on Nel’s age from Betty McCarty, too! That’s one way to know people are reading the posts!
