I always imagine that there is such an invisible and natural thing that ties us together...keeping us from drifting apart.

Our grandchildren Owen and Travis have a special bond with their Nana. This image was photographed at Ice Glen in Stockbridge, Massachusetts last September.

Perhaps I should have got this piper's personal opinion when we met him @ Gretna Green on our way up to the Isle of Bute a few months back, eh?
Personally, although I'm just second generation English, both paternal grandparents being Scottish (our family surname was first officially recorded on the Isle of Lewis many centuries ago), I have no strong feelings either way. Mainly, because politicians of all persuasions and nationalities constantly lie, so as to convince us that what 'they' say is the honest truth.
Heh, the very idea of it makes me smile ; an honest politician? Oh yeah, sure - same as a Protestant Pope.
97 years apart
(photo taken by my cousin -- this is his daughter and his grandfather)
This photo was taken one week before his 98th birthday, and 10 days before he passed away. A beautiful photo that I'm blessed to have been given as a remembrance.
I have always admired the strong bond that ties this wonderful mother to her son.
This is my sister, Janeena and her son Zachary.
Tradition is the key to survival for the indigenous people of Cusco. Trades are passed on from generation to generation ensuring the continuation of success in a family.Behind them are Inca ruins.

You clean your windows, and I'll clean my camera lens and come back and retake this photo with the sun behind me.
Also, pick a specialty or two. You can't specialize in "all haircuts".
This is my grandmother. At 24, she was a widow. Alone in a coal mining town to raise two daughters, 5 and 6 years old. With no means of supporting herself. Her life was rough.
Somehow, she managed to smile here, just a few months after her husband tumbled over a cliff and died. God knows she didn't have much to be happy about. But not too long afterwards, her luck changed — the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
While so many women watched their men go off to Europe or Asia, she got a factory job in support of the war effort. For her they were good times. With good money. The road ahead seemed bright.
Still, her future — and others — quickly turned dark.. The war didn' t last forever. And she lost her job. Then she started sexually abusing so many kids. I was one of them. And for too long, we all kept her secret.
When I look at her here, smiling, I wish someone would have stopped her dead in her tracks before she ever took another step down the road ahead.
