Yesterday, we loaded up and headed to Tunica to a "mini" family reunion from the Demilio side of my family. So, it was basically seeing lots of people that I haven't seen in a really long time or whom I've never seen. My grandmother, Elizabeth Demilio Parolli had a sister, Julia Demilio Gho who married Reno Gho. They had 4 children, one of which is Charles "Sonny" Gho, and a daughter Mary Elizabeth Haley. So this family reunion consisted of the children of Sonny and Nancy Gho and of Mary Elizabeth and Chubby Haley (who are both deceased). They were sweet to invite my mama and her 2 brothers and family to attend, too. It was fun and really neat to talk to people who are distant cousins. We had lunch at the Cafe Marie in Tunica. We were excited that Uncle Bobby and Aunt Ginny and Uncle Charlie were able to come and stay the weekend with Mimi. After the reunion, we headed back to Clarksdale to stay the night and spend a little extra time with them! Chet was duck hunting with Caleb, so he wasn't there.

After the reunion, I went to visit my precious friend Kate Scott and her husband Jody, who live in Tunica! While I was there, another friend, Ransom Myers, came over. It was fun to catch up with them. It's been too long!!
