Wordless Wednesday (Not So)

I have had the pleasure and joy to bring some old negatives back to life.
They were photos of my Great Grandparents and their children and grandchildren at that time. I came across a picture that through me for a loop. A picture of Great Uncle Norman wow! He looks like Dad or rather Dad looks a lot like him. I always thought that Dad took after the McCartney family, but I am now seeing that he resembles the Ogilvie/Kaye side of the family more.  Posted below are a photo of both men. What do you think? Does Dad look like Uncle Norm?

Advent Calendar-December 2, The Ever So Wonderful Graham Cracker Cake

There are many family recipes that I love, but I must say that this I think is my favorite!  I even found this in my Grandmother McCartney’s recipe files, it was given to her by my Grandmother Terrill. I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as I do.  Added note a big ole dolup of whipped cream.

This year the folks at geneabloggers.com have decided to host another Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories prompt. There is a prompt for each day between Dec 1 and Dec 25. You can find details at Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories (ACCM). Pick up your pen and join the fun!

Merry Christmas!
