This blog was started with the intent of just posting family pictures. So that explains the blog's title. It has come to be so much more to me. It contains pictures of family events. It is not just a Langin branch but the whole tree including my family of Leonard, Freeman, Washburn, Wilbur, Dyson, Nylander and more. [The photo above shows JJ Langin's logging camp on the North Branch of the Pine River north of Riverdale, Michigan c. 1888.]

Bernard, Meta, Chuck and ? Sonja is 99.9% positive it is Jill. Chuck Jr sent this to me.
Meeting family at the local Big Boy the night before the reunion has been a tradition. This was the first year I made it. And meeting again the morning after the reunion. This restaurant chain has been a favorite meeting place for many many years. Alma, St. John's, and I am sure wherever family has traveled and met others.
When words escape me I turn to pictures. I hope I am honoring my Aunt Shar's life by sharing these moments with the rest of the family. These are just a start. I will ask my cousin's permission before posting more. I would love it if anyone wishes to add to this. Just send the pictures by email attachment one at a time.
