This is the
story of the Miller Family’s very first Family Reunion. It takes place in the fall at City Park in
Hagerstown, Maryland. Family members
from all over Maryland, Pennsylvania and far out in the country have traveled
her to attend the picnic. The two sisters,
Popsy and Hoppie Miller have been cooking and preparing all the cakes and pies for
the reunion. They like working together
and helping each other. They are both
mothers and they both know that the mothers do it all! They are smiling because they have tried out
the cherry pie and coconut pie to make sure it tastes good. Sometimes at a potluck someone brings
something different that nobody else really likes.
There are a
lot of family members there and they are all talking and asking about kids and
grandkids and what everyone is up to.
They want to know how far some people drove to get there. They are telling funny family stories and
laughing. The children are playing hide
and seek and having a good time. There
is even some music to dance to.
When the food is
ready one of the men will say the blessing and then everyone will line up and
help themselves to the food. If it doesn’t
look good, then they will just pass it up and try something else even if it
looks different from the way they cook it.
When the day is
over everyone will start to hug and say goodbye. They will ask for phone numbers and addresses
to stay in touch. The Miller sisters oversee
keeping everyone’s addresses. Everyone
agrees that they want to get together again next year for another reunion!
