Hand Family Reunion

Saturday, August 30th

Lucy, Mike, and I arrived promptly at noon for the beginning of the big event, the Hand Family Reunion. No one was there and the gentleman at the bar seemed to have never heard of the Hands. After some checking around we found the time had been delayed to 12:30 or 1:00, this being Irish time. By the time we all arrived there was 54 of us. Eamon and his daughter Joyce flew back to Ireland from London to surprise the family. Hours of talking, laughing, photos, and sharing family stories and not arriving back at the hotel until 7. Tomorrow, with some regret, we all leave for home until the next time.
