family photos
(July 2001)
A large contingent of the Thompson family was able to get together, in early July of 2001, to help celebrate grandma's approaching 90th birthday (and grand-daughter Karen's 40th birthday, too). Like all family occasions, it was a great time to see one another and catch up on news and old times.
This short page simply includes a few photos from that great day...
Sandy Dorsey, Karen's cousin, had the party at her house, quite a generous donation. Here's Sandy with her son Eli, and nephew Flint...the boys were helping make sure the cake was cut correctly. I don't think they wanted to be first to get pieces of cake, do you?
Grandma & Karen show off a few of their MANY wonderful gifts! Those gifts almost made it worth it to be 40!
I just love this picture because it shows definitively that Marc is NOT in our family--he's looking at the camera when he's supposed to! Everyone else is on another planet. Or maybe it is Marc on the other planet!
Finally, a picture of the cake. On it is a cake version of an old picture of me with my grandmother--taken on my grandparents' front porch in 1963. The picture is a personal favorite, and it was a great idea to put on the cake.
