After enjoying a few days in Potsdam,
I 'm back in Oregon, and thanks to Jay, I now have a photo of my mother at her birthday celebration, getting ready to cut the cake.
Mom and I checked out a local motel two miles outside Potsdam, on the way to Norwood, appropriately called Northern Family Motel and I reserved the whole place for the weekend of the reunion...starting with Thursday and going through Sunday.
There are 15 rooms that can accommodate 2-6 people, if a cot or two is added. There's also a large annex which several families might share,with four bedrooms, kitchen and living/dining area --it sleeps 12-15, but unlike the individual rooms, there is no breakfast provided.
The setting is great, with space for concurrent games of volleyball, baseball and bocce ball and there are grills and a pool. It could be a gathering spot on Friday , when many people will be arriving.
Rooms are reserved under Post and will be held until the end of May but you must make your own reservations. Check it out www.northernfamilymotel.com and let us know what you think and if you have another suggestion, please post it.
So far, about 90 people are planning to attend the reunion. If you want to attend but missed the Sept. 29 deadline, please let us know ASAP.
