ERICKSON FAMILY CHRONICLES

Hi Family,

It started innocently enough. A family dinner. Four sisters, chatting long after dinner was done, reminiscing about our childhood. We've done it many times, and I love to hear about the early family - we are so spread out in age - only this time I heard stories about The Erickson's that I'd never heard before.

I thought, "Someone should be writing this stuff down!" I'm usually one leaf short of connecting to the family "grapevine". We are definitely out of the loop out here in Orange County!

We tried, more than once, to get the family news out in a newsletter. Apparently there was no news. Before that we tried a 'round robin' type of letter. Read everyone's letter, write one of your own, and send them on to the next person. They'd get stuck somewhere and never make it all the way around.

Reunions are great and I'm glad we get together once a year. But the brief once around the circle family "news" report leaves me craving more. I have so many talented nieces and nephews and many of them have families of their own and stories I haven't heard. It would be amazing to hear your version of our family story.

So, this blog is for you - mi familia - and I am inviting you to contribute with memories, anecdotes, photos, recipes, events, stories of our past, and current news. Write as often as you want - link to your own blog if you have one. This is our family site.
I'm inviting you to join the Erickson Family Chronicles. Write this stuff down!

Oh, and forward this to your family, because I probably don't have their email addresses.
Leave a comment with your email so I can update our list.

Love,

Claudine
