pictures from the past

While cleaning out Grandmas belongings we came across this picture of  her grandmother.  This would be her mother(little girl in front row) and her mothers mother(older lady on right.)  Along with the husband  and  three brothers of grandmas mother.  This was the first picture we have seen of  my husbands great  grandparents.  How wonderful to have this treasure from the past.

Last Thanksgiving we had our last big dinner with  Grandma C.  She past on a month after this picture was taken.  How nice it was to have her all  these years.  Her stories from the past and the memories over our years with her.  Her life of 94 years  had lots of wisdom to share with us.  Her faith to the end  was inspiring as well.May we all live such a fun and fulfilling life.

While in Florida last winter  I gave  my brother his had he brought  back from Singapore  years ago that he had left in his mothers house for safe keeping  maybe 35 yrs ago.  He  tried it on but being so tall it really didn't look like the people from that country that are rather short.  He was glad we had saved it for him to enjoy so many years later .

Back after a longtime!

after a long time away I'm back to blogging once again.  Going to try to download a pic of grandaughter at her last dance review.  It's off to college in a few days from today.  All grown up and ready to take on  higher education!
