an American's family reunion

Our teacher of Friday English Circle went home
to America and stayed there for two weeks.

She went back to America to attend her husband's
family reunion which is held every three years.

She came back to Japan at the end of June
and she told us a little about the family reunion.

The family reunion was held in Texas,
where her husband's parents live.

About 100 people gathered in the camping site
in Texas, she said.

One hundred people!
They all have home ties!
How close their family ties are!

They seemed to have enjoyed the family reunion
very much.

They had an auction there.

Every family put a thing for the auction.

Our teacher got a large piece of patchwork quilt
made of many patterns in shape of Texas.

A star was quilted in each shape of Texas.
It showed how they all loved Texas, I thought.

She said she would hang the quilt on a wall
as a decoration.

It was a very warm family reunion, I thought.

(Do you see the shape of Texas?)


(Do you see a atar in Texas?)
