My niece and her husband make black and white collages of family photos. The difference in the colored offering and the black and white is startling and revealing.

Yes those old black & white photos that still linger around here after Mom & dad passed away. Old yet so beautiful and innocent were those of yesteryear. Loved it Felix.

this is very sweet, Felix...I, too, love black and white photos. I look at my mother as a teenager and think of how fascinating it would have been to know her then!

In that baritone I'm sure it will sound like "When the Saints Go Marching In"...your voice is rich and with your Mother's and other angels...the chour will be much richer.

Oh, Fee! I love this offering deeply. I love to look at the black and white photos of my grandparents. It roots me in love and history every time I go back home to my parent's house and pull them out. Sometimes I look at them for hours. This meant a lot to me to read this!
