Great 2 pager, is that design at the top something from the BG Urban Prairie collection? It looks just like some of that stuff, but I can't place what exactly it is from that.
You have captured some very special moments in your photos. It is so awesome that your dad and his cousin finally got to meet after all of this time. Fantastic layout!
How lovely that you reconnected with this family member!! I just LOVE the pics of everyone chatting. It must have been wonderful to hear about your grandmother, and in such glowing terms! The pps you chose are beautiful, Cindy. I just love the colorful strips across the top and the edges along the bottom. The b/w photo really stands out beautifully in the centre. Love the symmetry of this 2-pager!!
Absolutely wonderful story! How wonderful they got to meet and share family stories. And awesome that you preserved the event in a layout! Wonderful Heritage Info for future generations.
Earlier this summer I received a phone call from a lovely lady who lives in the western end of our county. Bernice Tennant, age 89, was my Dad's first cousin. She and Dad had never met. I arranged a get together at our house in August when my sister Terry brought Mom and Dad here from Maryland and Bernice came with her niece, Gerry Varner. Gerry is a genealogist and brought pictures. Everyone shared memories of family members and events.
I heard Bernice tell Dad over and over, "Your Mother was so nice!" Dad's mother, Mae, died when he was just twelve years old. Bernice remembers carrying pots of food from her house on Westernport Hill to Dad's house a few blocks away. Dad's Dad and Bernice's Dad were brothers. What tickled me most when I talked to Bernice on the phone is that she said, "You sound just like Mae!" Now it's up to Terry, Gerry and I to pass those memories on.
