Family

I was getting ready to leave work yesterday when a resident came up to the counter and said "When do you get off?" I said "Right now and I'm heading home to my family." To which she said "You mean your other family". sweet huh?

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Stephanie, you will always be my favorite sister. Thank you for all the years of support and friendship, I love you dearly. Hope it's a great day on the water.

On Valentine's day...

...it will be 17 years since this photograph was taken and I wouldn't change a thing.

Just One More Photo of my Mom (and Dad)

My sister has spent 6 years looking through a huge box of slides with one of those small hand held viewers. She sorted through them and compiled a CD for me of slides from 1947 to 1960. These were photographs I had no memory of ever seeing. As I looked through them, on our computer, tears were streaming down my cheeks. This photo from 1950 is one of my favorites.

A new vice for our cat

                              Our indoor cat likes to eat grass. I get tired of holding it for him.

Wedding Photograph

This is an original photograph taken right out of my parents wedding album. When I was little I loved looking at the pictures and identifying family members. It wasn't until I was older that I saw this photograph differently, as the adults had seen it all along. No one has ever had an explanation for the item that appears to be protruding from my great aunt Agnes's fur coat. All we know is that it wasn't what it looks like. Be sure to click on it to enlarge.
