In the 5 minutes before you forget, right? :)<br /><br />I made a book online for my youngest sister's 50th birthday, and on the title page I had a photo of my grandparents in their 1930's bathing suits with my uncle and mom in the swimming hole. Not quite as elegant as your photos, but I love it! I put a quote on it: "The problem with the gene pool is, there's no lifeguard!" :D I love some of the tales of my forbears' sacrifices during wartime and their funny senses of humor. I'm trying to get it all down, but it's an overwhelming task!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390325505351159920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-48474322987669938802012-11-30T16:55:54.773-06:002012-11-30T16:55:54.773-06:00Jim, you are obviuosly a man of great taste. Come ...Jim, you are obviuosly a man of great taste. Come back often OK?<br /><br />Kim, My family life was full of noise. Arguments galore, opnions flying around like fireworks. But yes, I loved them dearly and now that I am the matriarch of the O'Shaughnessy Hoodlums I understand the desire to lift a TV over my head now and again.

Of course I left out some of the not so pleasant temper tandrums of my father being as he's dead and can't defend himself.
