Angel Sammy and Teddy find such inspiring photos for us
Here is today's inspiration
As soon as I saw it several very old photos of female family members popped into my head.
Below I have a photo of my mom, Lou and her sister Ruth.
Aunt Ruth was my favorite aunt.
Ruth and Lou
were quite a duo.
The youngest of seven
Four older sisters, one brother.
Oh my heavens
their Mom's age was 42 and 44
Surely she had no thoughts
for two more.
Ruth was a hoot.
She was known to find fun/trouble.
Lou was a peace maker
always ready to take up for Ruth.
As for me, I think I have the best of
Ruth and Lou
Especially my gift of GAB
from both of THEM.
Today I'm thankful for a this photo challenge.
It gave me the opportunity to fondly remember
Ruth and Lou.
While looking thru the pictures,
I found a poem written by Aunt Ruth.
She was a very good cook. Known for many signature dishes.
Especially her most famous Chocolate Pound Cake
made from scratch.
Christmas 1974 she wrote this poem about this cake.
Maybe I inherited some of her poetry skills.
