Did you know that there are Sommerers in northern Nebraska? You can try spraying for Sommerers, but we’re like carpenter ants – tough to kill.
Just kidding. Lloyd’s great-great-grandpa had a son that stayed in Missouri (where Lloyd’s family came from) and a son that came north of here to the Fremont, Nebraska area in the early part of the century, and that’s as far as I’m getting into the lineage story, because it’s so complicated it makes my head hurt.
They were just the nicest people you could ever meet, and, like their cousins to the south, they are excellent cooks. We had a potluck lunch that was so good you had seconds twice, and then we sat around and visited. Here’s something that I think is weird, coming (as I do) from a little family that never has big reunions – did you know that sometimes families elect officers and have official meetings? Both branches of the Sommerers do this, so maybe it’s something other large families do.
