thankful thursday



Today I’m thankful for the miracle of photography, and for good friends who send you old pictures out of the blue. Last week, Len received this cutie patootie pic of the three Rattigan kids and their neighbor friend, Joyce.

I love how telling this photo is — the way each appeared at that moment in time perfectly captures who they are today. Len’s sister, Aleta (sitting, left), is  nurturing and maternal. No surprise she’s holding little Joyce. Rascalish Len is in front, ready for anything and rarin’ to go (and he has hair)! My brother-in-law, Ron, standing in back, is ever the reserved, cautious businessman, who made his fortune dabbling in Wise potato chips and chocolate chips.

What a great blast from the past. Thanks, Bob!
