I've Been Tagged!
(A Long Time Ago!)
I'm so late with this ~ but I've had every intention of posting, things have just gotten very hectic. I haven't been able to keep up with the challenges, I haven't been visiting  blogs, or posting. 

But I'm back, since I can now take time to stop and smell the,
erm, daffodils, since the roses are still a couple months away.

I've been tagged by 2 lovely friends,
and
They are both extraordinarily talented and creative artists
so you must visit their blogs and shops if you don't already!
At first I was apprehensive about what my10th photo would be.
Luckily I take most of the photos, so the chances of the 10th one
being of me were slim. And also lucky because there is no such thing
as a good photo of me. I'm  truly un-photogenic!
Ugh. But you never know.

But happily, I had scanned some old family photos
not long ago, and here was one of my grandparents!
I don't know how old they were here, I'm guessing in their 30s?
I think my grandmother's dress looks rather 30ish. 
She was born in 1907, my grandfather in 1901.  

My grandmother died when I was only 10,
but my grandfather lived into his 90s and got to know his
great-grandson. So as not to get all the grandfathers confused,
my son called him "Big Grandpa", even though he was never "big",
just tall, but even less so as he entered his 90s. 
 
I think Jesse takes after him somewhat ~ 
a tall drink of water who never gains weight! Wish I was that lucky!

The rules of the game are:

Open your first photo file

Scroll to the 10th photo

Post the photo and the story behind it

Tag 5 more people

So, since it is extremely hard to choose 5 lucky people to tag,
I'll just say, play the game if you'd like! It's actually quite fun.
You might find a picture that you ordinarily would not post,
and that can be quite rewarding!
