It was a sunny day out in the yard or garden of the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

It was a sunny day out in the yard or garden of the Vintage Photos Theme Park.
As I was scanning the old pics for a suitable submission to post for this week's theme, OUT IN THE YARD OR GARDEN, I stopped at this one and smiled, remembering this day so vividly. The occasion was a rare gathering of my dad's family at our home. The weather had been perfect, everyone wore a smile, and near the end, when most of the Wisconsin kin had left for the long ride home, a group photo was suggested. Following the family standard, it is a bit blurry but it's the best damn family photo we ever made. And now, coming to grips with the fact that I am the last survivor of this group is extremely difficult. How can it be? Standing: Alice, Carl, Aunt Lorraine, Uncle Dick. Seated: Grandpa Rudy, Rick, Karen, Grandma Ann. Aug. 1961

Lovely photo and memory, Rick, and very poignant that you are the last of this group.
My mother (as I'm sure was true of your aged mom) has seen almost everyone else she grew up with pass away before her.
Only her sister in law in England (same age as her) is left.
She finds it odd, but doesn't let it get her down.
That's my mother. : )
