Yup, that's Melissa sitting on her oldest brother's lap, with her two other brothers and sister. An early 1960's Christmas picture her Dad took. She has many fond memories of time spent around that range. The constant warmth and spending time with her mother, learning to cook.Wren wrote: ↑Sun. Oct. 15, 2017 6:13 pmThere it is. I started at page one but read it last year so went February or so last year.
I like it for the stove too bit it's a nice family photo. It reminds me of black and whites from when my older brother's and sisters were young. I found the house terribly quiet when it was just me and my younger brother left.
I know what you mean about the house seeming so empty as siblings go off on their own. She was the youngest and last of her siblings to live there. It was sad seeing the stove for the last time, sitting in an empty house the day I took this picture, when her Dad was selling the place.
All the fond memories of times like that picture I think is why she bought the Glenwood for me. And why she'd rather cook on that than any other type of stove.
Hopefully your kids will get to have the same warm memories.
