Touching to see all these photos of loved ones from the past, some now gone. Here is my husband at the height of his youth. He's long lost that but I see him through love's eyes where he's forever young:

My step- grandmother and grandfather holding my step-father Charlie. This was taken in Jackson Hole, WY gosh knows when. All I know was that grandfather was a rootin-tootin cowboy, as the chaps show, and they lived in their self built log cabin. Grandfather, Jack, was a very good artist. I have one of his paintings hanging in my Florida room which I will post later.

My late mother's family - taken in Glasgow c.1920

Mother - young girl standing centre
to her right - seated, her grandfather (my great-grandfather) and standing, her parents (my grandfather & mother)
to her left - seated, her grandmother (my great-grandmother) and standing her aunt.

Not sure about the others, one of the young boys seated is mother's younger brother - my uncle.

this is is one of his paintings done in the fifties. It is oil on masonite and I have cleaned it up some because of 60 years of cigarette smoke. He did several with Wild West scenes but each relative received a different picture.

Electricity in north Idaho

This is my father beside his line truck, and me in my stroller, around 1947 . He was the first lineman for the REA when electricity came to northern Idaho. My mom and dad were the ones who got the first members signed up for the Rural Electric Association in that area. He said it cost $1 to sign up, and they had to loan some of the people the dollar so they could have power.
 
My dad. I posted elsewhere, I didn't see him from the time I was two, and Facebook-found my family of origin a couple of years ago. My cousin told me they lit up the phones from Minnesota to Alaska and out to both coasts "We found the girls!!!"

*I'm the towhead*



I was completely unexpected, mom couldn't afford another crib for a time so figured she'd just double stack us until it was time to get a bed for my sister, lol!



Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Cousin Doug ... his daughter Deb in front. Don't know who that boy is on right.

Well, my mom always told me that she just didn't know where I came from for sure, she thought maybe they switched babies on her in the hospital. She never had any luck finding out for sure though. On star-lit nights I sometimes hope to see my people coming for me. They land in a field nearby, and get off the ship and come up to my place. Every one of them will look just like me, and they'll say "comon denise, it's finally time to come home" View attachment 5737

Same! Which is ironic, because I look JUST like her. .... maybe that was the problem.

I thought I was adopted, though. My three sisters had brown eyes, mine are blue-green. They are right-handed, I'm left-handed. They had brown/blond hair, mine was red. I was the only one with dimples. Etc. "The milkman it is!"
