The Danish Family was finally able to have a long awaited reunion!![]()
This is our silly shot. Much more fun than the posed shot. We had about 25 rotating family members. These are the descendants of my husband's mother and her brother and sister.
We are blessed to have a family farm near Sheridan, Illinois. The main reunion was Friday - Monday.

It is in excellent condition. I did a little fabric research and put its age at 1860-1890. I love the shirtings, double pinks and look - one of the greens in my Chrome Sweet Chrome. ![]()
