July 30 Sutherland Family Reunion in Wilmington


Our adventure begins in Wilmington, Delaware at Uncle Don's house with our yearly family reunion. Our year always centers around the family reunion date.

Uncle Don is the patriarch. Without Don and our family reunion, we would be scattered and unconnected. Don has set the tone for all of us. We all take time at the reunion to get Don's advice on whatever we are struggling with. He listens patiently and is truly interested.Roz and John did all the work. Roz never stopped working for a single second. Thank you Roz! John makes the best caesar salad in the world. We are trying to convince him to start a restaurant. This year John has moved on to bread making. Delicious.

Lot's of catching up. Judy and Tom have moved close to Lynn and Michael and we are all listening to the story. Tom has promised to coach Leigh on 'the fine art of napping'.

Beautiful generation three.
Jud and Dani look at Leigh with disgust. "Not another picture, by my mom! Oh God!" They are very patient and polite. They just can't control their body language and they don't realize that we were their age once and we can read their minds.

Lynn and Judy. Judy looks great. Judy says that she is not taking long walks EVERY day, just 4 days a week.


Scott, known to generation three only as "The Bubble Meister". He is a Bubble Zen Master.


Messages for Phillip. We missed him.

Jack!!! How did he get so big?
Alex is happy.

Carolyn can only drink liquids, but has figured out how to dissolve cheese in her mouth.

It's hard to leave.
This year, generation three - Jud, JC, and Dani are driving together. Jack is Rich's navigator and DJ.



4:00 p and we have arrived in Bethany Beach.
