MEMORIES OF A DIFFERENT TIME.

  The mind is a powerful thing as we all know. With me I have a horrible mind, which is not a good sign for the future but that's a different story. With everyone talking about memories and showing photos,I though it would only be fitting that I talk about memories and photos. No,I will not be posting photos,just because it would only be too hard to pick but I will tell you about my family and how for some odd reason they can remember  photos and stories just by looking at them.


My Great Grandmother on my dads side,who may I remind everyone is in her 90's  has the best story telling mind I think that I have ever seen.  She is one of those people who can sit down and write down every person that I am related too,even if it's back in the olden days or even before her time. She loves to sit down and research this stuff.


When she looks at a photo it's even better.  She can tell you, who was in the photo,where it was taken,why it was taken and even what year it was taken. Don't get me wrong I love looking at photos,but if someone would ask me all of those question about a photo, I don't thing that I would be able to tell you the answers


My Great Grandmother on my moms side was like this as well. Although with her she might be able to tell you about an old photo,but if you would ask her about who I was she could not tell you.,probably because she had Alzheimer's.,still she was very sharp when it came to looking at photos.


Maby it's just me,but it seems like it doesn't matter how old you get,when you look at
photos each one has a story behind them. Photos share memories,and tells up stories upon stories.They make us laugh,they make us cry,and can bring family's closer together when they share the memories that are told upon each one.


With my family,it's always been that every time we would get together with my grandmother,we would get a photo and a memory.With my great grandmothers,they have lived those photos and memories so they know what it was like. Maby that's why they remember so well,or maby it's because in their minds and in their hearts they are reliving those memories if that makes any sense,What ever it is I LOVE that they share those memories with me.


Remember: A Picture is worth a Thousand Words.
