From Naughty to Nice

   Going through some old pictures at my Great Grandparents house I had to laugh when I saw this picture.

Gilbert "Gil" Ernest Roberts, Jr. (1944-1999)
Christmas 1955

 During the celebration of Christmas 1955 at the home of William Treadford Roberts (1894-1959) and Beulah Mae (Price) Roberts (1897-1980), someone took this unflattering picture of my maternal Great Grandmother. 
  It may not be something Beulah wanted to save, but take a look at the young boy facing the camera. 
 That is my Uncle Gil. He would have been 11 in this picture. The sweet look on his face as he enjoys Christmas with his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins is priceless. Well worth keeping. 
 The picture may appear "naughty" at first glance , but a closer look reveals the reality of the joy that comes from family.

 May you feel the love and joy of family during this special time of year.

Food, Family and Love

         Christmas 1971 was spent at my maternal Grandparents home. My father was in Vietnam so my mother, brother and I were staying with them during his one-year tour of duty.
      Christmas at Grandmom and Frank's was always filled with food, family and love.

  The house is now owned by someone else and my grandparents and uncle have passed on, but the memories remain. 
  Holidays are still filled with food, family, and love. Generations move on as time passes. Old memories are stirred while new ones are made. 
  May this holiday season be filled with memories. Old and new.

  A widow at 23, Azile was left alone to raise my mother Brenda and my uncle Gil. With the help of family and friends, she somehow was able to move on her her life and take care of her little family.
