The Floyd Family meet again...


14TH ANNUAL
 FLOYD FAMILY REUNION, 2011
THEME: 1950's
 Commerce Cumberland Presbyterian Church


There was a time in our country that every special event was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, the singing of our National Anthem and a prayer before every meal.  These things have never been lost in the Floyd family.  They are still done and still valued.  It was a powerful way to open our time together.
God Bless America!

 Two of our costume winners!

Wonderful, special music by Nicholle Bagnall, Mike Headrick and Hugh Patton.

Topics for program features:
Family Sharing - Bill Floyd, Michigan
Demonstration of Wood Carving - Chris Floyd, Michigan
"Mint to Do" list by Peggy Cariasco, Il. (Terrific games, too!)


Remembering Mama - Susan Harvey Headrick (so touching and sincere)

Program Coordinators - Paulette Floyd Dorris and
Kenneth Floyd (Thank you for all you do!)


Wonderful 1950's Lunch of Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and
Banana Splits (Yum!)

and THEN...

"Elvis is in the Building!"

A very exciting show by Kevin Roberts had the house rocking
and rolling.
Teaser...

"Elvis has left the building"

Games, gifts and well prepared food, speeches and heartfelt sharing dominated this year's reunion.  I didn't make it back to day 2 of the Floyd Family Reunion but if you, like Peggy, and "tried to give us something wonderful, so we would never forget you"...you succeeded!

*A very special thanks to Terry, Janet, Steve and Susan for their hard, efficient, excellent work in the kitchen  preparing lunch. 

Love to all until the next time we meet!

Best reunion ever! Thanks to all for your effort, your love and making me proud to be part of the Floyd family!

P.S. To Susan...You honored your mother so eloquently, with perfect sentiments and gift to remember her by. I will make snowflake cookies this year for Christmas!

To our singers...you truly blessed me. Thank you!

...and Mama, I can't get enough time with you. God bless you.

What a great blog for those who wasn't at the Reunion. Looks like it was all very special. So sorry to have missed Susan's tribute to Aunt Dot and of course ELVIS!!

In one of those pictures of Uncle Kenneth-it looks like Uncle Hugh. Looks like an awesome reunion. Sorry to have missed Elvis.....Where's the queen in these pictures? I wanted to see her 50's look? But G-diddy pulling out the Yale sweater on such an occassion was priceless. I know he felt 20 again just by wearing it! Belly might have grown a bit, though....
Blessings, sweet Floyd family,
Kim
