Family Reunion

On Friday, April 15, a segment of my clan, my mother's father's side of the family descended from Grace Lawler convened at the Shackup Inn in Clarksdale to celebrate our shared DNA.  We ate Abe's Barbeque and an assortment of potluck sides (I brought fruit salad, well it was just grapes and pineapple, because Winn ate all the watermelon).  We were supposed to gather at Cherry Hill Cemetery in Dublin, MS but we got rained out of that plan.  I had never been to the Shack Up Inn and it was really a cool spot to poke around. The whole place is like an eclectic piece of art.  It was fun to introduce Winn and Meredith to long lost cousins and really just getting out of town, even an hour's drive away was refreshing for all of us.
