As We Take A Trip Back In Time Part 2

Last night before heading to meet up with Pat I did some looking through some of the old photos that I was given by mom and dad sometime back and this early morning once again I am sharing with you....
These are of Mom and Dad, Nanny and Papa and their brothers and sisters... well of the ones that I had photos of any way...

Mom in her younger days....

Dad watching as the kids unwrapped their Christmas gifts..

Mom taking a well deserved break and with

us monsters running around the house

I am sure it was a rare thing with her...

Mom

Mom cleaning up before heading back home

from a trip to their much loved

Portage Lake Camp fishing trips...

I had to put this photo in...Mom was not sick when I took this photo over 20 years ago... (actually it was her birthday) this was part of the promise dad made to her when he retired and he stuck to it all these years... he told her she had cleaned, looked after the children, cooked and everything else that a wife does... so when he retired he would take on the cooking for her... and this was her taking adventure of it... every morning for many years mom would have breakfast in bed after dad came back from his morning trip to MacDonald's... and today though it is not in bed... her breakfast is placed on the table ready for her when she gets up in the morning... today dad teases her about it saying he wouldn't have made this promise if he knew he was going to be around for this long... the brat he is ... but we still love him... he he

Dad at work...

I see mom on dad's side but I am not really sure who

the other ladies are... but by the smile on dad's face

he is not complaining...and the ladies don't look too

upset being there either he he

Dad with Uncle Tommy's Dog...

Every night after dinner dad would go sit on his side of the sofa in the den and would proceed to have that after dinner nap... only it was not a nap to him... when we would ask him what he was doing... he would never admit that he had fell asleep.. it was always "I am just resting my eyes." Ya right dad... so if you were just resting your eyes what was the snoring about that went with it... he he

These next two photos are the only ones I have found of Uncle Larry...

who was Mom's brother...

This is the gang from Plaster Rock... In the photo there is Mom...

I think the next one is Frankie, Aunt Puss..

Louie and Tommy but I am not sure who the lady or the girl is...

maybe Jeff can help me with that one...

Aunt Puss was Dad's sister...

Tommy, Uncle Amy, Louie and Aunt Puss

Uncle Amy

Mom's sister Aunt Irmine

Uncle Tommy and his dog...( dad's Brother)

I remember when he use to come to visit...

and how strange that he had a wife with a man's name...

Aunt Bernie... he he...

Aunt Carmey (dad's sister) and when she passed away

I made her my guardian angel... and she has been doing

a good job I have to say... after all these years I still miss her

very much....

Kind of a handsome dude.

Don't you think...

this is Uncle Roger (Mom's Baby Brother)

This photos was given to me by Aunt Vina...

Poor dad growing up with all these girls...

There is Aunt Vina... Aunt Leona.. Dad and Aunt Carmey

Well that is an other little walk down memory land for those who are old enough to remember these people while they were growing up... I was surprised that I didn't have a photo of Uncle Art (dad's brother) I am going to ask him about that one... would like to have one of him... he is the Uncle I remember the most... he use to drive me home when his son Bernie moved up to Middle River... each time I got in the car his little love bug... I would pray all the way home hoping that I would get to see mom and dad one more time... my god he was a bad driver... but I still loved him...

This will continue again... now I am going back to bed for a few hours before really starting my day... though I am thinking breakfast would be good just about now... he he

Have a wonderful Thursday guys... Jo
