Hodge Podge

Tonight I'm posting a hodge podge of pictures. I was going thru my pictures folder on my PC and found some I forgot were on there. First off though . . . .Emily pulled up to a standing position all by herself today! I grabbed the camera right before she fell.


Here is a picture of Joe that I don't remember taking. Apparently I was playing around with the black and white feature:
Here is a picture of Joe and his best friend Bob. They've been friends since Joe was 6. Joe thinks this picture was taken in 1991.This was our first Christmas together when we were dating. This was taken in 1994 . . . we looked so young!!!
Here is a picture I found of my Granny B's brothers and sisters. Granny B is my mom's mom. My great-grandmother had 15 children . . . 5 "singles" and 5 sets of twins!!!! Oh my! One set of twins only lived for a very short time (maybe a few hours or a few days . . . I can't remember), 1 sister died at 9 from blood poisoning, and 1 sister died in the 50s; so in this picture there are only 11 children shown.

Granny B is the lady on the 2nd row on the far right in the green dress. She had a twin brother named Eugene and they both died of Alzheimer's. Their names were Eugene and Adene . . . hee hee. Here are all their names . . . I'm sure you will get a laugh out of some of them.

Front row from left to right: Boyd (twin-Maude-died in 50s), Faye (twin-Wade), Mary, Velma(twin-Selma-died at 9)

2nd row left to right: Eugene(twin-GrannyB), Bertha (oldest child), Tommie (youngest child), Adene "Granny B"

3rd row from left to right: Andrew, Ivy, Wade

The twins that died as babies were Era and Eva. The only 2 living now are Aunt Faye (106) and Aunt Tommie (93).
