Brag Album

Each year, as 08 December approaches, we are always at a loss over what to get Father and Mother for their anniversary. (What does one give to people who seem to have everything?)

Over the years we have given them quite a number of kissing dolls. There was one year when we gathered up messages from family and friends of their earliest recollection of Father and Mother. We printed out the collated messages. (They had fun reading that.)

One year, we came up wtih this brag album for them. (At least that is how I remember this album coming together.)

Gallery -- Part 10

Gallery -- Part 9

This is Mother's latest gallery.

The left side (not in photo) has photos of relatives, the middle has photos of the grandchildren, and the right side has photos of us when we were young.

Mother says her favorite ones are the pictures on the right, when the children were 'young, carefree and unattached.'

Gallery -- Part 8

Just when I thought there would be no additional gallery photos, Mother decides she can spare another wall (or two) for more pictures.

Here are Father and Mother...
