Spring on the Mountain

I was reminded by one of my cousins that I have not posted on my Blog in a while. She is correct, life has been very busy this year, work has been crazy. But this week I have vacation (at home) and plan on Blogging and quilting and visiting some Aunt's and a special cousin. Seeing all the Aunts and Uncles makes me want to go visit them all, they are not getting any younger, (me too) and I want to get some family history written down and recorded. I asked many of the Wass's this year, "How did the first Wass come to Mariposa County and what year was that?". I got a few different answers, but many were very similar, all seem to agree the Wass family has been here since about 1870 something. My Great Grandpa married an Ashworth, there were a few families from West Virginia and they can to California about the same time (or together?)....more to follow.

My family always has a family reunion the Saturday before Easter, this year not all were able to make it, but we had a wonderful day anyway. Cathy and Darrell and Shelby were able to all be there and spend the night with us. The weather was perfect all day. We are very blessed.

two of these ladies are really struggling with some health issues, but you would never know it by this picture. I did not share the picture of the ice vests or the walker. (I am in denial that they have any medical issues)

 

Ready for the Easter egg hunt, Shelby, Madison and Rusty (too cute), yes the sun was in Shelby's eyes, and she also got some grass or something in her eye
