Anyway - these pics are a stroll down memory lane. My parent's wedding day (June 11), me and my dad several years ago, my dad as a dapper young man, dad, and my mom from long ago.

The family - that dear octopus from whose tentacles we never quite escape, nor in our inmost hearts, ever wish to - Dodie Smith
I am lucky. I came from a happy family. I shall do a Facetime with my dad on Sunday. Can't fly up and visit in person this year (well, in theory I could...but oh, hell no). We'll have some laughs. My sister is spending the weekend there doing some yard work and hanging out. Then they'll go to my brother's for a social distance picnic. I'll be there in spirit. And we'll remember my mom too.
Cheers all - hope you've had a safe and happy weekend of love and memories too.
An extra special day for you to remember Joanne,being your mother's birthday too.
ReplyDeleteLoved the photo's .

ReplyDeletewe had a good Facetime chat. And we exchange emails a lot
DeleteBeautiful photos, I love B/W photos! Love the quotes about family too. A happy family/childhood is a gift that lasts a lifetime. Glad you're keeping your Dad and yourself safe.

ReplyDeleteYour parents, and especially your dad, look so young in their wedding picture. You're all beauties. Nice to see memories of the heartwarming kind.
ReplyDeleteBe well, good friend.
thanks. They were actually "old" for back in the day - mid/late 20s. Shocking! My mother was not a conformist. And yes she was really pretty
DeleteGreat photos. Stinks you can't be there, but technology sure helps
ReplyDeletethanks. Yes, my father doesn't understand Facetime,etc. He's there blowing his nose and leaning way into the camera. It's funny. He's 88.
DeleteWonderful family pictures. They are treasures that bring back great memories.
