I had the good blessing to celebrate the 40th Annual DiPaola Family Picnic recently. There were about 120 relatives gathered together---catching up on one another's lives, sharing stories, giving hugs and taking pictures.
I have such great memories of the Family Picnic growing up -- the hayride, the egg toss, the bubble blowing contest and the food. Ahhhh, the food. Row upon row of salads, sausages, breads and more.
My cousin Angela and I were recalling how we used to be able to drink 4 cans of soda and eat 3 burgers at the picnics when we were young(er) girls. Oh to have the metabolism (and energy!) of my 10-year old self.
I'm looking forward to the next 40 years of picnics!
