For Memorial Day Weekend '06 we went to Orange Beach, Alabama for the annual Blissard Family Reunion. It was 13 of us, Poppie, Nannie, Uncle Bill, Aunt Tess, Uncle Sonny, Anita (Uncle Sonny's girlfriend - whom we met for the first time and like very much by the way), Anita's son Spencer, Aunt Mollie, Greg (Aunt Mollie's boyfriend - whom we all think is a keeper for sure), Jody, Lillie and myself. We stayed for 5 days and it was the most wonderful 5 days. The weather was so perfect and the beach and water was more beautiful than we have ever seen. The water was so clear blue you could see all the way to the bottom. We found big, beautiful shells, sand dollars and even two hermit crabs. We will never forget the late night dinner and the funny appetizer story involving Poppie. And we can't forget the late night crabbing story where Greg learned just how much deer in the headlight reflexes that Lillie has and Aunt Mollie and I found out the hard way the hole Lillie fell in was big enough for us too.
