Last night very smart, amazing second child (see October 25th post) was explaining to me the relationship between Martin Luther and Halloween. There were a few things lost in the translation until I got an e-mail last night from a group from who we buy things from time-to-time. Today is Reformation Day. 491 years ago Luther posted his 95 theses to the door of Wittenberg Church. I think you can see the relationship. (CBT, as he is frequently referred to in writing because Christopher has a lot of letters, was probably thinking his mother very dense to not get this.)
Well, the group that sent the e-mail advocates having large families. Obviously not something that went down the path we them on, but it did make me think that Reformation Day would be a great day to share some family photos with you. For those of you who are family, how many do you recognize? I would love for you to post a comment on this one and let me know.
Who would have know that this "hot mama" would have gone one to become one mean, hard AP English teacher?
CBT says this little girl is tiny (and Papa skinny mini then).
Doesn't this look like a stereotypical 60's family? I am concerned that CBT thinks Daddy is holding Uncle Tony. That was a bad haircut.
Any guesses here?
Quality isn't great, but can you figure this one out? The family history for this one has been tough.
Unlike this one where someone in this pictures has traced the family history quite far back. Maybe that's another story for another day.
Extra credit here.
I have always loved this one. Can you tell where this one is taken? Historic place.
Feel free to share this one with other family members - the site's not restricted any more. I know you're reading because you e-mail me - post a comment for this one so others can share.
I recognize my granddad, my grandmother, my aunt and a boy who must have been the best looking child ever. By the way, where was I that day?
ReplyDeleteChase informed me that I must have been the best looking little boy in the world when I was his age. I asked him why and he said “because everyone says I look just like you as a kid.” So, that is why I used that line.
I excerpted this from an e-mail from my cousin, Riley. He was at the Kennesaw National Monument. His aunt, of course, is my mom.
This also came via an e-mail from Derek. Even more impressive since he doesn't really remember two of the folks in the Kennesaw picture looking like this. (Lookout Mountain does look very similar.) Love the comment about the sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteThe last picture is Granddaddy and Grandmama, and it looks like they are at Lookout Mountain. The picture is small but I assume that is Riley next to your mother. Great sunglasses by the way.
How did I miss this post? Ack! I love that last picture as well--your mom is rockin' the glasses!
