I'm sure there is probably already a thread for this somewhere but I can't find it. So sue me for putting this up here but I just wanted to post a picture of some the women in my family.

This was taken on a recent trip to Chicago to see my daughter (she goes to school there) and to also see The Color Purple stage play. Unfortunately my sister Nikki couldn't make the trip.



(l-r) Shirley(my grandmother), Jasmine (my daughter), ME and Jeanie (my mom)

Lovely family photo - thank you for sharing that. You must be proud.

Beautiful.

what a beautiful family!.....how come your daughter doesn't have any prince pictures on the wall???

Thanks guys! I just wanted to share cuz it was really the highlight of my year to have all of us together. I don't have a lot of pictures from earlier in my life and I'm trying to capture everything now so that my kids and I can have memories (in print)to look back on and pass on to future generations!

Family

Absolutely beautiful picture.

Time and the memories created are life's greatest gifts. Beautiful you realize this.

My sister and I last week. The most important friend in my life, forever.



We are big fans of DORA. (My niece is I mean, but she did not come along on this trip)

Terilicious: it's always great to see 4 generations of women on the same pic looking so good

FreeSpirit: Dora looks smaller on TV

Terilicious, I can see that over the upper right side your daughter has a The Doors poster. Does she like Mr. Morrison?
That's a neat family photo you've got there.

And oldy, but this is my extended family and my nanny (to my left/the viewer's right in front)

I was bored out of my skull during that ceremony (I was still devoutly atheist back then )

Yep, you look like you're thinking, "Get me out of here!"

That picture was taken by my sister.

She would walk up, snap a photo of me, laugh quietly to herself, and go back to the back yard to dine on the ever present feast that bitch.

Drop-dead gorgeousness! Those are some damned good genes!

Imago said:

Oh, that's not nice of her! Anyway, how did she manage not to be in the ceremony?

gyro34 said:

She was helping with the night's feast. So there were a few folks who helped out with that.

I, unfortunately, was the eldest son of the eldest child of my grandfather (Who passed away--that's his picture on the table). He was a popular buddhist monk who retired to lay life before he died. In the tradition of Northeast Thailand, the funeral is a sad-ish affair, but one year later they celebrate his rebirth of sorts. I attended this ceremony a year after he passed away.

Unfortunately, I never knew him. I was very young when I saw him and have no memory of that.

Your sister seems like a practical joker.

Interesting how tradition works.

FreeSpirit said:

Wow, Dora's head is HUGE! Thanks for your sweet comments. Isn't it nice to have a sister?

Yes she does! I think on that wall she has Jim, Bob Marley and Harry Potter.

Thanks! That was a great trip. I finally got to go to Navy Pier and just hang out with my grandmother a bit too. She lives in New Mexico and we're all in St. Louis so we don't get to see her that much!

Imago said:

foxy ladies!!

OW!! >_<

Imago said:

You look buff in that pic.

Fauxie said:

Don't say that.

I have a crush on you and I need to find ways of dealing with it before I go to Thailand.

Fauxie said:
