New Pictures (even one from me)

The pictures on the blog this a.m. are fantastic! Thank you all for sending
them. I was shocked to see the one I just (almost this moment) sent was on
there. You can't miss it because it is cleverly titled "Picture". What can I

Arch (TX)...

Thank you so much for naming the photo. Without that I would not have
known what it was! Don't you just hate a wiseguy? LOL That really is a
very nice photo of two lovely young ladies (and a beautiful butterfly).

say. My first picture and I was concentrating so on attaching it,
remembering to identify it, etc., etc.

I even rembered that. Hope it gets you there. :-)

MJ, what a beautiful picture.

Remilnded me of one I have which I have sent to the blog. I think I
forgot to reduce the size. Hope it turns out o.k. My daughter is now
the mother of 3.

Norma, I saw your picture. Concrete memories of the past are without a doubt
priceless.

Thanks mj!! I'm starting to get the hang of it now, and hope I won't
wear out my welcome posting to it!!!! :O)

david...

such gentle and trusting young faces... :) i hope no one ever takes
advantage of such trust as is bestowed by children to adults. how old are
they?

mj...

Five and three I believe. Some of the folks might remember that a half
sister I wasn't aware of found me some years ago. I went to Florida to meet
them and during that time the older one celebrated her 2nd birthday. There
is also a boy in the family now. My half sister's daughter lives in CA and I
see her at least two times a year. She has a boy who was three recently and
a little girl about nine months. I plan to visit them for a week in April
while her husband goes to be best man at his brother's wedding in Serbia.
The brother is marrying a girl from there and they didn't think they could
handle all of them going for the wedding both for money and sanity reasons
so she asked me to come and help her keep her sanity at home. :-)

What a nice invitation mj. :-) Was it years ago that your half
sister found you? I remember it, but seems like maybe it was just two
years ago. Boy time flies! I hope you have a great time!

Btw, I enjoyed the picture of your grandmother and grandmother.
Pulled it right out of her hair and broke it? And she still married
him? LOL! Well he was very handsome but sounds like he had a bit of
a temper.

No, it wasn't years ago but don't recall exactly when. No more than 5 though
that's for sure. If my Granddad had a temper he got over it. My memories of
him aren't many but love is definitely one of them. He was sick a long time.
I remember we lived with them at that time and have lots of good as well as
sad memories of the house. One of my favorites was the squirrels my
Grandmother fed on the kitchen windowsill. One she named Jimmy. If there
were no nuts on it he rapped on the window until she put some out for him.
When I was in my early teens I used to love to have her tell me of their
dating years.
