Sepia Saturday
Alan's SS entry is full of visuals to stir up memories.
That is what SS is all about, no matter the age of the photo.
While shooting photos yesterday at Thanksgiving feast I remembered this old photo and how a 30 year old photo has a lot of memories and changes associated with it.
This was taken for our family photo for our church directory in 1981.
Our oldest son had just left Ky. for his new career with IBM in Kingston, N.Y.
Yours truly, way before she was QMM, Beth, Tom,
Rachel, Julia, John and Jennifer.
Yes, can't fool you, I did sepialize (?) this photo, but it was very pale and had lots of blemishes on the paper anyway.
Now speaking of memories.
This photo empathizes how blessed we are in being able to gather for special holidays.
We all know how blessed we are.
Go here for more Sepia Saturday.
You may want to join in.
Happy Birthday
No #1 son is 50 today.
High School graduation 1978
I have been able to see much of the other side of the world through this son's eyes.
He has quite a travel portfolio.
He loves art and literature and travel.
He knows what I like and always has just the right photos to bring back to relate his experiences with me.
He and his best friend traveled inside Russia back in the cold war days and were able to go places where most people were not allowed to go.
We love you Thomas Dwight.

QMM, You look exactly the same with that blessed smile, hair only a shade lighter. Nice family.
Gorgeous family! A wonderful photo!
Beautiful - it's fun to look back, reminisce about past holidays and then take a nice new photo! What a good looking family!
I just called by this morning to say thanks so much for becoming my latest follower, I hope you will continue to enjoy. Sepia Saturday sounds like fun maybe I will join in sometimes when my new photography blog is more settled! I love the old and new photos of your family together Peggy. Have a great weekend.
Catching up: glad you had a good TG and day after. Your family photo is nice.
Peggy, a great pair of then-and-now photos. Happy Thanksgiving!
A Fine Handsome Family.
What happy family photos - and you all have lovely smiles :-) Jo
What a great collection of photos! :)
Fine family portraits.
My elder son was 50 this year too. Makes realise you are older than you feel.
Thank God for kids and families. They give us back so much more than we could ever hope for. How textured our lives are through experiencing life with those we love. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday!
What a beautiful family; those of us blessed with a beautiful family has much to be thankful for.
What a very fine family : there is something so special about family bonds : a closeness based on so much sharing that it cannot be matched by any other relationship at all.
How nice to recreate that family scene. They look a happy bunch.
Always funny to look back and yes, things improve with age.
