All of my ancestors were here before July 4, 1776. I have attended many Younameit-American celebrations. I see all of those folks enjoying living out a little of their heritage. Frankly I feel a little envy. I am enjoying it with them but I am not part of them.
There is no Younameit-American club for me. However, we once had an annual membership to Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts. While visiting there I could picture my ancestors walking those streets or plowing those fields or even attending services in the Society of Friends Meeting House. Maybe that is what the Younameit-American clubs are all about.
I think it is great that The Villages is the kind of place where these clubs can flourish. I will continue to enjoy your festivities with you.
