Gud, do you have any 5-generation pictures?

We have several of those.

gladly volunteers to help smonster with this endeavor, for posterity's sake

Always there when needed, that Sean fellow.

Quick relief wishes, Teppy.

Always there when needed, that Sean fellow.

He's giving like that.

Tep, clear-up-soon~ma to you. I'm glad it's so easily treatable!

smonster, I actually loves me some football, which is why I knew I'd like FNL once I got around to it. I much prefer watching live games vs. televised, but FOOTBALL! Whoot! Not as exciting as rugby or hockey, but close.

Denver to Palm Beach, round trip, $138 plus tax and stuff for like 170ish. current temp 81F. IJS

meanwhile, I hate football, was miserable in high school, and am not too fond of Texas in general. but i love this show!

gotta go. see y'all later!

Are there any you're willing to share, Gud?

Daisy, that was a beautiful description. I know it meant a lot to you and the rest of his family, and I'm glad you all had the opportunity to say goodbye to him and reminisce.

I scared the cat I laughed so loud at the Gandalf protecting Tep's goolie posts. I'm glad it's something fixable. Had one recently and hooboy, not fun. But a quick recovery.

NICOLE! Smonster's right, it's about an hour forty, give or take. I have made it in a hour (but don't tell). I've got a futon with your name on it if you come during the week. Weekends, you might have to share with a squirmy kid.

There was more, wasn't there? My sieve-y brane at fault again.

I just had to share this exchange. Senior vs. Box Office Cashier:

Senior: I wanted to see that movie... what's it called?

Cashier: Notes on a Scandal?

Senior: No, that's not it.

Cashier: The Good Shepherd?

Senior: No, not that one.

Cashier: Notes on a Scandal?

Senior: Yes! That's it!

No four generation pictures in our family. DH's grandfather cut all ties to his family when he remarried, and on my side, well, only two generations are here.

We must have some 4 generation pictures in my family. My grandmom was alive to meet 4 greats (they called her GG). I wish it had worked out that I'd had kids while she was still alive. We were really close and she would have loved that. Not that she ever hassled me about not being married or not having kids. Although she'd often ask how my "social life" was going.

Daisy Jane, thank you for the stories of your grandfather. My dad's dad died 12 years ago and my mom's dad died 20 years ago this April. I still miss them both, but especially my mom's dad, terribly.

Generational pictures always seemed so amazing to me. By the time I was old enough to understand who these older people were I was down to two grandfathers (one a literal drunken sailor) & one great-grandmother (who was a hermit). The notion of getting a photo of us all together never really arose as my dad's relation with his father was always a little strained.

Now, all of my grandparents are gone. However, my sister (seven years my senior) had kids when she was young and her middle child, Nadine, had a daughter about 5 years ago. So, weirdly, a 4 gen photo is actually possible but I'm not really part of it.
