[QUOTE="Up Y'oars, post: 331267, member: 764"] My family did our weekly trips after Sunday Mass from Minot to Karlsruhe. One weekend to spend with Gramma "X" and another weekend to spend with Gramma "Y" (and other relations of that side). Picnics outside all summer long, with fireworks for the 4th of July. As we grew up we did this with our parents, but on a smaller scale and more so during holidays. This was mostly because of growing families made time & money less available. Add in family dynamics as we entered adulthood. Yup, those family dynamics! Today, all the grandparents are gone. Our parents are gone. Since my mother passed away two years ago I doubt there will be another gathering of the five bro's/sis's at one time except for a funeral. Society has changed the family structure. Being more mobile has made distance greater. We'll spend more time/energy going to a class reunion that we do for a family get-together. [/QUOTE]
