My nephew and his daughter visited

My daughter and granddaughter were here. I have pictures of my grandmothers on the walls, and explained to my nephew who they were, how they were related. Kind of stunning to realize all of us in the house were related to the women in 100 year old pictures! Grand, great-grand, great-great grand, 2 different branches of the family Happy New Year!

We were trying to get arranged for a family picture and I had a burst of ideas that connected the dots of these people on my couch, through the family, through time, and to those pictures
