My Pickering Family

The Sunday of Labor Day Weekend

is traditionally my

Pickering Family Reunion

We started it over 45 years ago

We are all so close in our relationships

that we wanted something to keep us together and

in each others lives.

If you are wondering how I am a

Pickering

Well, my Grandma is a

Pickering My Grandma's only sister is my
Great -Aunt Colleen

I love my Great-Aunt Colleen

My Mother is her niece!

They were the same age!

She and my Mom were very close

They were best friends.

It was hard for my Aunt Colleen

to lose my Mom.

She and I have been very close.

I guess I just kind of filled in for my Mom.

She is a very creative woman.

And has taught me a lot.

I'm glad I carry some of the same creative genes that she does.

(funny how families are like that)

I am thankful Pickering is part of my heritage!
