Recently returned from a family reunion in the south of France, where my parents retired about 15 years ago. We have a tradition of having bi-annual reunions in fun places – Greece, Croatia, Cyprus, and Sardinia to date – but this time we decided to have it at the homestead. It was an amazing experience but, sadly, given my parents’ advancing years, one that will not likely be repeated in this lifetime. We are a large and close-knit family.
