Afterwards Mary, the Guest Services Director, shared a cute story. I love stories like this and so requested permission to repeat it here.
Mary has a close friend that had been pleading with Mary to attend her family reunion in Texas for the past six to eight years. This family always invites extra friends to their reunion and they call the special unrelated guests their Dotted Lines.Finally after many invitations, Mary went to her friend’s family reunion this past summer.
She met her friend’s brother.
They will be married in March of 2010.
In the summer of 2010, she will joyfully attend the reunion again—this time as a Solid Line.

Quite a story! That might be one way to boost the attendance at reunions! I myself have missed several of them over the years. It was easier when I lived in KS and the reunions were nearby. On the other side of the family, they involve traveling 5 hours or so..... It's hard enough to get our immediate family together! Sigh.
I love stories that have happy endings and who wouldn't want to be a solid line rather than a dotted one......:-) Hugs
Well Bernie, I suppose that is true but another way to look at it is . . . The Dotted Lines are adopted family that you choose to invite because you like them. That is usually true of the full bloods as well but not always.
Oh I love this story Brenda, there was a good reason that her friend kept inviting her. A very special memory for her. Thanks for sharing!
Love Di
Great story! As you know, I have a soft spot in my heart for wonderful love stories. Maybe we should try to include some dotted lines--a great concept. Donna
cute! :-)
