Walker's Creek Reunion

Every year in September I visit an area of Milam County Texas that was named for a creek that runs through that part of Milam County. As a youth I traveled over Walker's Creek on my way to and from my uncle's cabin where I spent summers. The old wooden plank iron trus bridge that used to span the creek is long gone and has been replaced with a modern concrete bridge.
On the Sunday before Labor Day a group of people gather about a mile south of the creek at the site where the Walker's Creek First Baptish Church and the Walker's Creek School once stood. Lots of people who attend the reunion have kin folk buried in the Walker's Creek Cemetery which is a just up the road from the reunion site. It is a nice cemetery and someday I will be buried there. When that day arrives I will rest in peace knowing that each year on the Sunday before Labor day, people will visit my grave. Every year between 75 and 100 people show up for the reunion. Every one visits and shares lunch under the big oak trees. This year the oldest person in attendance was 92 years of age and the person driving the longest distance to attend the reunion drove 600 miles.I always have a good time at the reunion but I miss the Sunday service in the Walker's Creek Church and miss going inside the Walker's Creek one room school. Both Buildings are long gone and just like my youth they will never come around again.
