"The Taylor reunion is a chance to talk, eat,
drink and socialize with the people who make up our family. It's a
chance to rediscover what you loved about growing up in the Taylor
family. Its a time to talk about those nights sleeping on the floor
at the bluff. Those world class dinners grandma made on a
shoestring.The back porch. The hard times folks had in both money
and life. No matter how bad it was you were always welcome at
grandma's house. The warmth of a hug or handshake from a long missed
Cousin, Aunt or Uncle. The knowing that no matter what happened,
someone was looking out for you, praying for you and wondering about
you. Being at the bluff at Grandma's house was like putting on an
old comfortable pair of shoes it always felt right. As we all know
that time has passed like all the seasons in life, but how much
would you give for just one more Christmas at the bluff, just one
more weekend on the floor without a/c, just one more meal prepared
by grandma, just a chance to be at grandma's house again. This
reunion is what we do for the kids in the hope that someday they
will remember these days and the things people did because they are
family
