And speaking of family history, I just got the book "Just Deal With It - a memoir of resilience" written by Karen Young Sheppard - memories of Bonnie Carman Sheppard. Yes, that is my cousin Bonnie who just passed away. It is memories of her family (the Carmen's - my mom's Uncle and 1st cousins)...

I was living in Jacksonville, FL at the time. On their way home to NM, Mommie, Mary and Jim came by to see me right after this happened - and told me about their 'adventure'.

Real quick in and out... just got Challenge #2 - Heritage loaded into the gallery. Need to finish loading it elsewhere. Yes, that is Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim in the photo with Uncle Herbert, his wife and our grandmother in the photo... Guess you could say that some of the family members lived...

Your mommy was an adorable little girl. Such a beautiful white space design. Thanks for joining the challenge, Sylvia.
