"...there's only one place they call me one of their own."
I was listening to this Bon Jovi/Jennifer Nettles song on my way into work today and thought it was representative of the previously mentioned family weekend. The importance of family was sort of an unofficial theme this weekend and that is perhaps a legacy that my grandparents have left for all of us.
The family members from far off lands have begun their departures back to their homes, perhaps a little richer in nostalgia and little fatter from all the corn on the cob and dough boys (with even a little acorn butter thrown in). To all the weekend guests, thanks for coming and "y'all come back now, ya hear."
And finally, for those of us that the family homestead is a part of our daily lives, I would like to say a big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to the 'proposal maker' for finding a way to keep the "Old Lilacs" together, the concessions you have made have not gone unnoticed.

Thank you for your comments and your appreciation. The "proposal" required concessions by all parties. I appreciate that everyone was able to look past their own interests and points of view of what was "right" to do and come to an agreement so quickly.
