Family Foto Album

I was looking through my pictures and decided to post a family photo album for us and for those who are getting to know us. The pics are random; the common thread is the love between us!

Here is the relationship of my blogging family, may help decipher the tree! lol
Celebration of Life=Meanie's Maw Maw = Jo, Sister #3 of our family
Lolly= Jo's daughter, my niece.
Vel=Rubye/RJ= my sister, Sister #5 of our Family
A.bananna= Rj's daughter
Lynetta= Sister #1 daughter, oldest grand child
M&M= monte (Lynetta's brother) and Melissa, my niece and nephew by oldest sister
(I'm sister #6 of the family)




Here is a pic of all us girls in chronological order:
Pennie, Lenora, Jolene, Mom, Beckie, Rubye and myself. I believe this pic was taken in 1969 on Pinion Ridge.


Here is nephew Jack (Vel's son) and Bryan (Celeb.' son) and myself...

Jolene and I...
Scott and I after mom's funeral. The beads I am wearing are the beads she insisted I wear at her brother Jerry's funeral so a part of her would be there...
Here is Jo (Celeb. of life), myself and Rubye (Velvet) after the funeral. We are all wearing our "Think Pink" ribbons in memory of mom's positive attitude.

My naughty TT, such a pretty girl.


My great nieces....(M&M/s girls, Lynetta's girls)
Think Pink shoes I gave Pastor Sweet the day of mom's funeral. He opened them after the funeral and wore them to the reception following. Mom would have rolled her eyes and shook her head, we all laughed dang hard!

Love this pic...

and this time we had together...it was so special and I know gramma LIL was smiling...knowing we were all together, spending time together...being the loving family she always taught us to be...

For those of you who don't know my extended family, this is my nephew, Monte (part of M&M family). He is the first grandson, born on mom and dad's Silver Wedding Anniversary. After mom passed and before her funeral, we stayed at a place where we were all in our own cabins...and in the middle of the place was a pit for campfires...we did that, we sang, we laughed, we cried, we spent more quality time there than we had in a very long time. These are the memories I hold so dear to my heart. I love you, family!

Well, like San, I"m a little disappointed.
