Family Photos

This is one the only family photos we have (minus Sharon, don't know if one exists with every one of us).  We are all looking at the camera and smiling.  Dad is not frowning or turned around with his back to the camera (he thought that was funny, we would not know until the picture came out).  How did Nana get us all to smile! Dad had probably just snuck a cigarette!  After this,  I am sure we piled into our Pinto? or Buick?  loaded with Nana's ham and roast beef sandwiches, cokes, and snacks and watched Nana (who refused to be in a photo without her lipstick) wave from her porch with tissues in her hand until we turned the corner.  I love this picture!

We are at Nana's house in Abilene.  We traveled there once a year, usually for Thanksgiving or Christmas.  This was probably the last time we ever went there together
