Thankful...for photos, smiles, and memories

I love photos.  I love looking back on new and old photos and remembering.  Remembering good times, hard times, and meaningful things.  Such precious treasure God has given us in our memory - both good and bad.  I may not always remember as I grow older.  I think of Tobin's Grandfather that we are helping care for this weekend.  He is 99, and his memory is very poor.  He can't remember moment or moment or much day to day.  But he remembers Tobin and I.  And whenever we come up and visit it is such a joy to see the smile that crosses his face when he realizes we've come to visit.  I know some that have illnesses, ugly, that attack the memory - very, very hard.  So for now I will be so thankful for memories, and the ability to look back on photos and smile, cry, and feel loved.  Thank you Lord for this blessing.

In no particular order.  I was just looking through our photos on the computer, and here's a few that made me smile, laugh, remember, recollect.

Ah...we love snow - Tobin all geared up for snowmobiling

We've walked up Pilot Butte in Bend as a Miller fam, several years now...Our family keeps growing!

I laugh at this because this was our first apartment with our camping chairs for furniture and dining room!  Good memories!

Love my sis and the crazy times, difficult times, and funny times we've been through.

Good family memories...being together
