A Long Day for a Friday.. Visitors.. but Cooler for a Change..

"A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination—any two of which, at times any one of which—can supply the lack of the others."
~ William Faulkner

"Youth is the best time to be rich; and the best time to be poor."
~ Euripides

"Writers aren't people exactly. Or, if they're any good, they're a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person." ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

Lens Day Challenge: Monochrome..-
I call this first photo "Young Love" Mama told me that they were about to go to the fair..

she also told me how Grandma Black warned the "boys" ( Daddy and Uncle Neal) to make her walk between them for safety sakes..

My siblings will all want to kill me for using this photo.. but I like it.. it shows us as kids and maybe a couple of young adults..

we are all trying not to laugh at something Jimmy said..

.. Frank.. ~

... Mary-

.. Martha..- ..

I know someone will inform me that I don't have them in the right order.. I do know the right order.. I just decided to do it my own way.... just for fun try to match each of us with the Monochrome photo above...it would have been easy if I had given you the right order.. but this way is more fun.. we surely have changed in the years since those photos were made.. I love my family..between us we have produced a whole pile of kids.. grand-kids and Great Grands..

I treasure every member of the clan and feel that each of them is another special fingerprint from God..

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.. Today has been very busy with several visitors and one puppy moving to a new home.. She left snuggled in a shoe box in a lady's lap.. asleep with her tiny body curled around a soft green dinosaur.. I know the others miss her and so does Bonnie.. I saw Bonnie moving the others around as if she were counting them.. Too bad we can't keep all nine of them.. But even I know better than that..

I welcome both comments and followers!.. Have a wonderful night!
