I've just spent a day with our 4-generation family, and luckily, one of my sisters remembered to get the classic everyone-on-the-stairs photo before we started to break apart. Lately we've been enjoying poring over old photos with Nola, who marvels at what her mommy looked like when she was a little girl. . . . you'll soon be doing this with Isla.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-29270817884631819052011-08-06T17:28:00.200-07:002011-08-06T17:28:00.200-07:00What a sweet post.

I am now the holder of our family photographs, a case full of them. While I can recognize my immediate family forebears, sadly a great many of the other faces are unknown to me. My mother's sight and hearing was so poor in her final years that, although we poured over the images with a magnifying glass, she failed to identify very many. Don't leave it too late to collect all the wonderful memories from your Mom. <br />I have written down some of my parents' recollections, which I intend to include in a book for my next big '0' birthday!Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-72630281440683388402011-08-06T03:25:47.740-07:002011-08-06T03:25:47.740-07:00I love the mysterious feel of old black & whit...I love the mysterious feel of old black & white photos...have made collages of most of mine and they hang in the cloakroom so I can enjoy them daily.<br /><br />Have you thoughts on how you will show your beautiful B/Ws?

I had a whole wall in our den covered with various family photos from different generations and branches of the family. We would quiz our kids on who was who as they were growing up. They are in storage right now as our life is in transition, and they are the thing I miss most.Sue/the view from great islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366703419148959445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-38001593548241825332011-08-05T17:27:08.852-07:002011-08-05T17:27:08.852-07:00love these old photos leslie. i have a weakness f...love these old photos leslie. i have a weakness for them too. also, thank you for all your sweet comments on my blog. you are the best and sweetest.<br /><br />xo<br />janetthe gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-36527096392470523102011-08-05T16:12:57.288-07:002011-08-05T16:12:57.288-07:00wow! love these.
