For the first time in many years all of the Thomas siblings were together again.   It was a wonderful experience.  The above picture was taken in Sept., 2016 in Paris, Texas.  The picture below was made while we lived on Great Lakes Naval Base in Ill. in the late 1950's, probably 1957 or '58.  (I copied the picture from an album page, hence, the star and background page pattern.) 

I'm Back !

I would say I am speechless but, obviously not.  I am almost mute with excitement though.  My brother, Leo, has given me a laptop which I am using at this very moment!  I can now blog and share my life with you all and, of course, with " Big Brother " again.  As soon as I am able to figure out how to transfer photos from my camera I will do so.  I am sure my daughter, Anna, will be most willing to try to educate me on the workings of this wonderful machine.  I will be back very soon.
