A Saturday Evening Toast...

Posted on 9:54 PM by jimmy

To my Grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Yancy Launius, first of Bloomfield, then for the next 50 years, Essex, Missouri.





E.Y. and Gertrude...




'Lish and Gertie...





The tuberoses blooming make me think so much of them...





I've read that our sense of smell can evoke the most vivid memories, and I believe it.





My daughter Katie thinks Grandma looked like Kate Winslet ~





Grandpa looks like my oldest son, Mark...(that should be the other way around...;^)





So young, in 1916.





Grandpa was born 100 years before my youngest son, Jonathan; 1894...1994.

The little sugar bowl and creamer were a wedding gift from Grandma's mother...I'm so pleased to have them...♥





I'm making my post short, tonight...my computer keeps freezing up...


Maybe my fun PicMonkey is to blame?





Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful, (rainy, where needed) Sunday...
