STARTING A HAPPY NEW YEAR




1948: The first formal portrait.

My family started a little small.  My grandfather had two children, and those two kids had three.  Tom, Jerry, and Mage….that’s my generation.  Jerry sent me a packet of photos last week that my mother had sent to her mother.  What a treat to see them again with my mother’s handwriting on the back.

I’ve added a few more here to make fill out the story for myself.

  4. What an interesting trip through time. I see you change from a joyful and innocent to a woman who knows who she is and why she is here on this journey. Happy New Year!

    1. That's the worst recent photo of me I could find. I'm not really that wide, but the photo encourages me to lose more weight in it's awfulness. LOL
