"You are someone's reason to smile."
(I think my Father-in-law is the young boy with his hand on the dog but that could also be his older brother and he might be the cap behind the dog. If I am wrong I would be happy for any of the family to correct me. It will still be one of my favorites. Well, actually it is so hard as they are all my favorites and I would like to thank Gregg's cousins for sharing, so that I could borrow them for my blog posts this week. They are a dear family and one I am proud to be part of.)
Another beautiful photo, Denise! And what a beautiful family!
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet photo.
ReplyDeleteThe photo really is drawn out of time.
ReplyDeleteDearest Denise; Your pictures of father-in-law when young was impressed me a lot. As I need to clear my late parents empty house after his 3rd memorial service, I brought back all the pictures he took this spring. Taking pictures was his hobby and lots of sepia color pictures of our happy days. Haha, you might know how I felt seeing them :-)
ReplyDeleteYour quotes were also impressive for me, Dear friend.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend, xoxo Miyako*
This is a great picture! Some look miserable (cold maybe) and some look happy.I love the looks on their faces.
ReplyDeleteYou look at thee children and they appear to be really tubby. In reality they are wearing many layers of clothing to keep warm. I have photos of myself looking like a little pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that they are as happy to have you in the family as you are to be there.

ReplyDeleteit's been such a lovely tribute. Your family are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThis must be a really old photo. Do you know the year it was taken? I love seeing such old b&w photos and wondering about the lives that these people led; what their next generations doing now...etc...etc..
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all of these photos of Gregg's father. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you love this photo! So nostalgic to see the children playing with their dog in the snow!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes!
Good morning Denise!:) What lovely memories this photo must evoke for family members, it's charming.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful old photo! I actually didn't know the reason why you weren't posting, so let me say now how sorry I am for your loss. And also: It's good to have you back.
ReplyDeleteWhile this photo and others you have shared are precious family memories, they were so interesting to look at Denise.Thanks for posting memories of Gully and his siblings. Times looked a bit hard for the children in ND.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to meet! I was born and raised in D.C.!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture - dress sense really has changed!

Just think of all the generations before photography was invented. Think of the countless millions of people throughout history for whom no record of any kind exists and compare that with our behaviour today when we snap everything and everyone in sight.I am sure that children today cannot even imagine it any other way.
ReplyDeleteDear Denise,
ReplyDeleteFirst let me send my sincere condolences to you and your family and know you must be missing your dear Father in law. Love the old photos and they are wonderful to look back at.
My thoughts are with you
Hugs
Carolyn
