I Like Thursday #262 - Happy Thanksgiving!

It has been a week of looking at old pictures, telling family stories, laughter and tears.   I really love old family pictures, so I picked a few to share with you.

Mike and his mom when he was a young sailor, about 1970.


All of the boy cousins with their grandma at a family wedding, about 1999.  Our boys are the two on the right.


And a more recent photo of my mother-in-law, having her very favorite meal at Red Lobster, fried shrimp!  That was the last time Mike was able to take his mom out for lunch back in July of this year.

I love that look on her face!

Thank you for indulging me, one more time.  Hope you are having a lovely Thanksgiving, however and wherever you celebrate!


Thanks for visiting on "I Like Thursday"

    Hi Diann! What lovely photos of your MIL and what wonderful memories all of you have with her. You'll be able to hold those close and smile through the tears. It's always tough to lose a beloved family member but it seems even more so near the holidays. I hope you are able to have fun sharing happy memories of Goldie. I wish a Happy Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

    although funerals are never a great reason for a get together it always helps to have such memories - it is actually fun to see all the relatives you rarely see it is just the reason for getting together that isn't happy

    Hugs to you and your family...Daddy tells me, "Make memories, it's later than you think." So true. You all seem to be quite talented at making and recording special memories.
