Wordless Wednesday, Family Generations

Generations

This picture goes back to my childhood, processed in May of 1969.  My family gathered for every holiday.  We’d eat, laugh, joke and play cards.  We had multiple generations gather, my great grandfather at times, Great Aunts, Uncles first, second & third cousins. We didn’t always know how we were related, just that we were.

This picture was taken at a house on 9th Ave N on Queen Anne Hill.  That home saw countless family gatherings and memories burned into my soul.  

When I help someone buy or sell a house, I pay attention to the value and quality of the home, but I know that what will be invested will be quality memories, just like we had in this house.

Jeff Dowler CRS , absolutely! My grandfather is facing us, my mom is sitting between two of his sisters, Helen & Rose with Rose's husband's back to us. There were many more here that day, but just these few in this picture.

Dan, great photo!  I recently got bunches of old photos from my parents, and it's great fun remembering all of the good old times.

Awesome photo - When you stop and think about how many memories are made in a home, it sure makes our job a lot more critical.

I shared this photo separately on Facebook and have had lots of responses.  Most, but not all from family members who knew those pictured. One cousin said it made him both happy & sad.  Happy for the many memories, sad that all pictured are no longer with us. I like to think they are gathered around another table, sharing fond memories of us as we think of them.

Hi Bob, Thank you so much. I wasn't the photographer, but it is part of our family history.  It brings back many memories to me and my extended family.

No problem Dan

We don't necessarily need to be the photographer for a photo to be great!
