The tenth picture . . .

I was tagged by Cathy at Tales of the TCKK Family I am supposed to post the 10th picture in the 1st folder in my picture files. There wasn't 10 pictures so I posted the 9th.

This is a picture of my mother (2nd from the left) and her friends on a toboggan. This was before she married my father. She lived in Southern California and they went to mountains to "play".


I couldn't resist adding a couple more of her on that day. In the next picture, her friend is trying to put a snowball down her back



In this next picture, mom is on the right. She was so fun. We had so many laughs and fun times together. I miss her and dad. (I don't have any pictures of dad on my computer.)




I'm in the process (it's turning into a loooooog one) of working on some genealogy scrapbooks. I want to record what I remember and what I've learned through research to put in these scrapbooks so that my grandchildren will know about their ancestors. If I don't, I fear that many facts and stories will be lost forever. It may seem a little strange to say this, but preserving their memories in these books feels like a way of loving them. And . . . I do love them!


Love,

Your vintage photos of your Mother are great! I think it's so good to preserve & pass along family history for the next generation.

These are such fun photos. Looks like more fun back in those simpler times, doesn't it?

I think it's great that you're taking time to make the scrap books for your family.
Thanks for sharing.
