I think of blogging as writing personal articles. Perhaps that's the defining characteristic of the Blog, or perhaps I'm standing in far left field, looking upward as usual.
Today is Tuesday, and on Sunday Oct. 17, my family (Gil, me, Vic, Dan, Wil) went to Shawnee Mission Park, shelter house 8, for the Whedon Gathering. No, no one was gathering Whedons. We of William T. Whedon, Sr. and Anne Raysik Whedon gathered together to observe and interact with each other.
It was an absolutely marvelous day all around. I use the word 'marvelous' as opposed to the word 'perfect' because there were a few no-shows. My dad. My daughter, her man Jeff, and my granddaughter. My uncle Rob. My cousin John E. My cousins Sam W. and Chris W. My cousin Billy and his wife Melissa. Who else?
Most of us agree the high point of the Gathering was Scott F. coming in from Virginia with his kids. Not only was it great to see him after I don't know how many years (way too many,) but he's entertaining.
I've never posted photos on this particular blogsite before, but here goes:
This was one of the last in the sequence of the group photo, so you can see folks beginning to get restless. The only ones not in the photo but were in attendance were Ann Whedon with Dennis (they showed up after the photo shoot and after many had already left), and Brian Steele (who was manning the camera)
GREAT day!
