Thanksgiving Day 1974 at my grandmother's house. Paul took this picture in two pictures and then put them together. There was no "panorama app" in those days! Left to right - my mother-in-law Priscilla, Kristen (she was 2. Mark was about 3 1/2 months so he is probably somewhere in his infant seat), my grandmother, Dot, me, and my father-in-law Fred.
So many things in this picture that I remember. My grandmother always wearing an apron on holidays. The V-8 juice in the little glasses (my family doesn't like V-8 so I stopped serving it on Thanksgiving, but we always had it). It's hard to see but I can tell there is marshmellow fruit salad that my mother-in-law made. Dot also used to bring it to my house on holidays. We haven't had it in a long time. I should see if I have the recipe. My aunt's picture that she painted above the piano. It is in her room at the Atrium now. The picture of Dot singing for the Bethany Hour on the piano. She also has this in her room now. The sheet music on the piano that my grandmother used to play (and she would also sing while she played). I wish I could hear that again.
One of the things that I am thankful for this season is old pictures. Funny to think that even some of the pictures Paul and I took are now considered old pictures!
