Wednesday, Aug. 4

Well we didn’t do any blueberry picking but Sally and Mary saw the Futrell clan at the Farmer’s market and they brought over an impromptu supper of salad, cheese, pulled pork and wine all from the market. It was delicious and later we started a campfire and roasted marshmallows. Goodness, everyone should come early!

Thursday Aug. 5

Jane Long Dilley told us about the history of the stone that Lincoln Long quarried when he was young.

Then Robert Sheehy presented a program about the Lincoln Long Family. Content coming soon.

Open house at the Scrimshaws

We had a wonderful time visiting with people coming in at all hours and enjoying food and good cheer and catching up with each other.

Saturday, Aug. 7

Reunion Day

Pot Luck at the Old Grange Hall

We had a wonderful time visiting together! Jane Dilley gave a blessing and we all dug in to a delicious pot luck! These things should never be organized because everyone has their specialty and the variety was just right because we didn’t have just cake!

While we were enjoying dessert, Jane Dilley again was MC for introducing the families who updated us all on the happenings within the clan.

We had a memorial for the 6 people who passed from this life since the 2017 reunion. They are:

Jack Messina (husband of Kate Burns of the Emily Elliott Burns family) - March 24, 2018

Frank Dilley (husband of Jane Long of the Frank Long family) - April 13, 2018

Pat Messina Taylor (Daughter of Kate Burns of the Emily Elliott Burns family) - May 2, 2018

Nancy Long Huntley (Frank Long family) - May 8, 2018

Jacque Elliott Helmer – (Marion Long and James Elliott family) February 5, 2020

Saturday Night at the Farm

Everyone enjoyed the Elliott Homestead, roaming the fields, feeding the calves and even milking cows.

Sunday Aug. 8

I say it every year! Tearful good byes at the homestead.
