The 2008 Reunion Is Over

Well, it's over. The 2008 Bumpus Reunion is history. If you missed it, you missed some of the finest weather we have ever had. I'd share a few photos but my camera died after 5 pictures, and no amount of cajoling and fussing could resurrect it. I did get this photo. It is a fungus growing on one of the old oak trees on the far west end of the yard
It was huge and fascinating. My camera was so amazed it just quit after that.

Steve and Irene and Mike and Sally are taking over next year. I've invited Steve to this page as an author (I can't easily just turn it over to him, it's one of those legal things with licenses and such, but we'll see if we can figure an end run around the rules). I'm not sure if they are going for August 7, 8, and 9 or 14, 15, and 16, but they will let everyone know as soon as they can.

If you made it this year we were really glad to see you. If you missed it ... you really missed it. A big thanks to everyone who made it possible this year. If I start naming names I'll miss people, but a special thanks to Mac who got everything set up and my kids who did most of the work on my end. Oh, and Nancy for leading the singing during worship. Compared to my doing it Y'ALL should be thanking her. Now if you'll excuse me, I have 14 pairs of earrings to put away. (I SAID you really missed it...)

Mailing list errors

I've maintained various mailing lists for over 25 years, so I know how hard it is to keep current. We updated the list as best we could, but still got "Not Deliverable a Addressed - Unable to Forward" notices from the Post Office for those below. So if you talk to them, tell them we tried but the address we had did not work.

I find it particularly frustrating when the Post Office says it is unable to forward then gives me the correct address!

Letters returned addressed to:

Rilla Forest
George Hudson
Liz & Garret Jakobsson
Amanda and Mark Kishell
Ashley and Travis Phipps
Ruth Roeder (and they told me where to send it to!)
Blake and Bobbi Stockton

We are working on updating the mailing list, so if your address has changed, or you know of someone else's that has changed, let us know.

Plans are underway

We are tossing around ideas for this year, so if you have any brilliant and easy ideas let us know. I need to get the mailing list ... it was supposed to be sent to me but I haven't seen it yet. It's wet, uncomfortably cool, but just wait until August!
