Why attend the reunion, you ask? Well, it’s simple. It’s about the joy of reconnection. You see, life, much like bread in the oven, doesn’t give us a chance to pause often. A reunion like this, especially after fifty years, is like the sweet aroma of bread that brings you back to the kitchen no matter where you are in the house.

It’s our chance to relive those youthful days, to share the stories of the paths we've walked, and to laugh at the same old jokes as if we were hearing them for the first time. It’s about seeing how each of us, once raw dough, has been shaped and baked into who we are today.

And let’s not forget, it’s about celebrating our achievements, comforting each other through our losses, and reminding ourselves that despite the years and distance, we still have a home to come back to, a community that matters. It’s about ensuring that the bonds we've built withstand the test of time, just like the sturdy walls of our old mill.

So, why come to the reunion? Because in the busyness of today’s world, taking a moment to appreciate where you’ve come from, with the folks who know your roots, is not just important—it’s essential. And besides, we could all use a few more laughs and a good dose of nostalgia.
