Saturday Photo Hunt

Word for today is

BEAUTIFUL


To me there is a great BEAUTY in having all of your family together at one time. Then to sit back and look at them that is a thing of BEAUTY also!! I am so proud of all of them. They have grown up to be great people and wonderful individuals. Who knows where the young ones will go or what they might become!! I pray for them all of the time.

I am also so fortunate to have my parents in this picture!! This does not happen very often so it makes this picture even more BEAUTIFUL!!!

Dear Flip Flop Sandy......
Such a precious picture of your family I know you will treasure it always. You and Mike are looking so good, seeing you both just makes me realise how fortunate we were to meet up with Betty & Edward in May..... Goodness! who would have thought it would be possible when we first started to communicate.

It warmed my heart to read the comment your Mum left for you, Bless her! I thought fondly too of the dish cloth she knitted for me..... Thank you Mum! I think of you both each time I use it and that's pretty frequent. Big Hugs - Marion

What a wonderful picture! There's nothing like it in my family. Kind of sad. But I take enough pictures of our little family for my girls to share forever!
