Family Reunions

So this weekend is one of my family reunions. I have a question for those of you out there, Do you go to these gathering and end up hanging out with the same old people you always do? I have fallen victim to this. I go I eat, sit with and converse with the same group of people that I see on a regular basis, Example, My mom, dad, sister and close cousins. Then there are people in my family that I have not seen since last year's reunion, I did not speak to then last year and have not seen or spoken to since. Why do we do that? We go to these thing to connect with family members and get family history we may not otherwise have/get. Well this year I have decided that I am going to break this trend. I am going to go to the reunion and speak to as many people as possible. I will report back on how many "new" (or not in current contact) family members I reached out to. And some of you reading will be there and keep me focused on my goal. Wish me luck!
