Monday Moment



oldies but goodies.  Last Monday I featured my maternal grandparents.  Now I'm featuring my dad's side of the family. His father died when he was young, so my grandmother (Julia Crowther) raised him (middle picture). His older sister kept track of him too. (she's far right in the bottom picture)
These pics were probably late 1970s, early 80s

Tuesday is my aunt's birthday - 92. She's sharp and clever as ever. Had to move out of her home, but still darn independent at the senior living facility.

 Happy Birthday, Aunt Janice!

    Glad your aunt did well with the more to senior living. I'm moving my mom there soon and hope she does well too.

      good luck to you and her. It's all about attitude. My aunt decided herself that it was best for her and she was going to make the most of it. Positivity is key.

    Killer pics! I adore old family photos. Reminds me of a selfie-less age, among other things. Hope your aunt has a great birthday!

    I love looking through old family photos. In years to come, scrolling down a computer screen won't be the same as the feeling on Truprint paper in our hands.

    Happy birthday to your aunt!

    Hi Joanne - those are great pictures ... and good to be seen by us here - what fun. Good longevity in the family ... I'm pleased I have that gene too - at least I can look happily forward. Enjoy celebrating when you next see your aunt and your father - cheers Hilary

    I smiled as soon as I saw your (younger) face in that bottom picture. Sweet photos.
    Happy Birthday, Aunt Janice.
    It's nice to have spitfires like her in the family - right?

    Have a great week, Joanne.
