Four Generations"Four Generations"




Thank you, Steve Chabre, for taking this lovely photograph (see above) entitled "Four Generations". From left to right are Lisa (Age 43), Jackie (Age 70), Annie (Age 14), Paulette (Age 100 -minus one day), Gigi (Age 48 -minus one day), and Mary (Age 17). I say -minus one day for the two birthday girls who were born on December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day. Paulette was born December 7, 1908, and Gigi was born December 7, 1960. Gigi and Paulette often love to spend their birthdays together! Annie is also a December baby. Although she was 14 in this photo, she actually turned 15 on December 22, 2008.

Paulette are sisters-in-law and very good friends.

My mom (Jackie) and Vera pose with the birthday girl in photo above. Growing up, my mom was an only child, and she always wanted a brother or sister. So now, she thinks of Vera as the sister she never had!

Mary after Cake is GoneMary after Cake is Gone


Joel's son, Lucas, avoids the camera. Lisa's daughter, Mary, hangs out in front of the camera. ... just an interesting observation made by me, the li'l ol' photographer.
