Throw Back Thursday !!!!!

   These are old photos of my family. My parents, brothers and sisters.  We look more like a clan than a family. LOL In this photo, Mom , George, Charles, Tom, Miles, Mark, Steve, and Dad.  Me(Susie), Jeanie, Brenda, Pam , and Barbie.
 Sister Brenda and brother Charles are missing from this photo. It was our baby brother Steve's graduation.
Big brother George is not in this photo.  Yes, we had a big family. Lots of  hard times and lots of good times.  Our beautiful brother , Miles, is no longer with us.  But he watches over us along with our parents. I sure miss them. I miss these old fun time get togethers too. We have a reunion around the 4th of July....when we can. 
  If you have parents, hug them today or give them a call. Or your siblings. Life is short, make it sweet. XO

  1. Looks like a wonderful family, Susie. I still have all my siblings, but my mom and dad are gone. There are so many times that I wish they could come over and spend the evening with us. I really miss them. - Blessings.

    1. I think, just one more time, I would love to walk to mom and dad's from my house to see them. I lived a block and 1/2 away. My daughters and I would hurry to get our supper dishes done and then go to mommy's to visit before the girls all had to get their baths. xoxo,Susie

  2. Susie, you certainly do have a large family! I have only one sibling, a sister who is three years younger. My mother was an only child, and my dad had three brothers. There were only four cousins on dad's side, with only one who was near my sister's age. The others were several years older. xo Nellie

    1. Nellie, you did have much family to play with and get together with. But I think you probably loved your times together as much. When we would ask mom if friends could come play...she'd say no, you have your siblings to play with. LOL. xoxo,Susie

    1. Sheri, I like to tease that my 1st word ever was"share". Mom used to call me on that. Seems we never had anything that we didn't share with all the others.LOL. xoxo,Susie

  9. You're right about staying in touch. I did almost the same thing as I found some old photo albums and I posted them. Just about everybody but my cousin and I are gone.

    1. Boston Boy, Yes, do show your family photos. We love seeing pictures. For a big family, we are still blessed to have so many of us still healthy and hanging on. We have lost our aunts, uncles, lots of cousins. We have one aunt/uncle left....the uncle had a back way to go not so long ago. So I count my blessings. hope your weekend is great, xoxo,Susie
