When the Thurgood girls get together there is no lack of laughing and good stories. We spent one day tramping around Park City shopping and finding good eating establishments. We had rented a wheel chair for Mom so no one had to slow down and she felt a part of the festivities. We even took the gondola to the top of The Canyons which was a beautiful trip.
One night we went to the outdoor concert at Deer Valley featuring the Mormon Tab, Choir and Utah Symphony and it was fabulous. It was such a beautiful setting and the concert was a tribute to America. And to add even more excitement to the evening, Pres. Eyring and Pres. Uchtdorf and family were sitting a stone's throw away!!
We wanted to include our brother Craig (and he wasn't too keen on spending the weekend with 4 crazy women) so Sunday afternoon we had a great reunion together with his family, and many of our children and grandchildren. About 50 were able to be there and it was such a good time to renew friendships with cousins, brother and sisters and Mom.
I am so thankful for the wonderful extended family I am blessed with and for this terrific time to solidify our love and friendship. I am also so incredibly thankful for Mom and the amazing woman she is. At 90+ years she is still so fun and willing to be with all her family to share these good moments.

thx for planning the reunion on Sunday for all of us. I am grateful for the opportunities to get together with our extended family! It was such a fun day!!
What a wonderful opportunity. I was so happy to see that your Mother is still a live. I remember when you were so concerned about her health when you were living here in Corcoran.
It is so nice to have family that you can totally laugh and enjoy without the fighting. That is the way it is with my family and Doug's. Life is too short, and minutes are too precious. We just have to enjoy all we can get together.
