Post a picture of you and your brothers and sisters





This was last Saturday. We try to get together about once a month at each others homes.

We have one older brother that had to work. This time we discussed what we were going to get our mom for christmas. We all pool our money together and buy her one nice gift. One year we bought her a new set of false teeth, the next year new glasses and things like that. Last year we bought her a new recliner and this year we are going to purchase a swivel base that we can put on her chair.

I love my brothers and sisters and we have a great time.

I am the middle child and the one in long sleeves

2. oh how cute
are you all close?


we have always been close. When my dad passed, we really leaned on each other.

I was only able to have one child and when me or hubby passes, she won't have the close sibblings and I feel bad for that

3. I will reluctantly post this again.
The four of us get together only very rarely. Us, Las Vegas, January last year. I'm the horrible-looking one. :D

17. I have posted this pic so many times, but it is really one of the
very few pics I have with this brother. He avoided the camera like the plauge. This one is so old. Probably around 1983-84. Not real sure, he is gone now. Up in heavan watching over me, I'd like to think anyway. Gone at the ripe old age of 24. RIP Bo!

21. Oh I don't mind. I have shared it many times here.
He was killed in a single car accident in 1996. I was 18, and he was 24. It was the exact day before I was to leave off for college. My mom and I were out of town getting last minute shopping for me done. Got the word as we pulled into the driveway getting home. That was before we all had cell phones. The worst day of my life. I am still not sure what hurt me the most. Finding out and knowing my oldest brother died, OR seeing my mom get the news. She fell to the ground. Beat it with her fists screamin no no no!! Threw up everywhere.

I cherish the pics I do have because he was so camera shy.

24. I have a whole buch of pics with my sis and I, but have no scanner.

She spoiled me rotten and protected me for dear life at the same time. I returned the favor by doing the same to her 2 kids. :evilgrin:

31. I think it was the law back then that every home have a zig-zaggy afghan throw
We had a brownish/orange one and a purplish/grayish one. :)

Cute pic!
