Grandma Corkish and me

I was about to get ready for bed when I had to do one more thing.  I found this old letter from my brother's mother in law.  She had borrowed a couple of pictures from my Dad and had sent them back to me.  This is one of those pictures.  I am thinking I am about 6 in this picture, so that would be about 1956.  The stance is just cracking me up.  I still like to stand with my hands in my pockets.

I can't do math at 11:30 at night this would have been 1954.

Wordless Wednesday - Almost

This Picture reminds me that through out all generations there are family gatherings.  As the season of Thanksgiving approaches I hope we all remember the things we are grateful for.

Christmas 1939 to 1942

My Aunt Em couldn't remember exactly what year this was.  My Dad is standing by the window.  My Grandparents Hartmann are at the head of the table.  Uncle Richie youngest child is on the right at the head of the table.  Aunt Em is on the left second from my Dad.   This is the house my Grandpa & Dad built and I lived in until I was 11.

Another picture from my cousin in England, our Great Uncle Percy James Chaplin, World War I.
There is a little story to go with this picture. The day I received this photo and many others, I studied them for awhile. That night I had a dream, a very short dream but very distinct. I dreamt I was talking to Uncle Percy and I told him, "You know Uncle Percy there is also a Percy's on the Hartmann side of the family. Only he was really a Percival, and was just called Percy for short." Uncle Percy was listening to me very attentively. That is all I remembered. I guess as you think about your family during the day they start to get into your dreams.

Thank Cuz
