Calendars Made For Your Family

         I just perused a calendar I made for 2013 It had photos of my family from various occasions, some current at that time, and some even older. What fun to review them.

         One month was dedicated to cousins on my father's side and their offspring. Most of them are college graduates by now. Another month was for cousins on my mother's side, which included one photo of all of us years earlier at our house at Christmas. A lot of those people are no longer with us-my grandparents, my parents, several cousins, and two of my brothers. All of the kids in those pictures are grandparents now.

         I gave one month to each member of my immediate family which accounted for 6 months, one for my sister-in-law, and one to Thanksgiving decorations I use each year. It is fun to go thru them all grouped like that, and family members like to look once in a while. I like to show the younger children what their mothers looked like when they were their age.

         It occurred to me that this is a great idea for clubs and church groups. A collection of photos that you could keep long after the year was over. In fact, I think I need to do a new one with the next generation of my own family. They will have something to show their kids some day.
