Isn't She Lovely

When I look at this niece of mine....I see my sister, her twin, my baby sister Lou, and my only an very precious brother Spencer in her face.  It's the eyes.  Even though Miss C's eyes are blue.....her eyes make me feel as like I am looking at the faces of some of my siblings when they were growing up.  And the freckles too.  Oh how I love all their freckles. There is a picture of my mother and Aunt Lynne up in my grandmother's house in Idaho.  I think I will have to scan it in and post these together.  The resemblance is alarming and endearing all at the same time.  Lynne and Mom wouldn't you say so?  The picture in the library when you both are wearing similar dresses?   

And anyone who knows my family knows this little nephew is the spitten image of his mama. His luscious lips and his big, beautiful, blue eyes are a dead giveaway.  All my nieces and nephews own me.  I am not ashamed to say so.  I will be post images of them from time to time.  These are just a few I have looked at lately.

GG's Clothesline

What is it about home?  While I did not grow up in Idaho, my mother took us there every summer and going there feels just like going home for Christmas after a first college semester away.  It's a place full of memories, family, and the Snake River that constantly flows from one generation to the next.  And here is the next generation running through the laundry on GG's clothesline.  A clothesline where GG spent hours hanging clothes, where Grandpa hung clothes after GG had children, where my Mom and her siblings spent hours together in the summer, where Malee taught me how to properly hang the bed linens, and where all of us have spent considerable amounts of time working, laughing, and hanging the laundry together.
