My maternal grandmother, Fannie Mae Turner Graham, was born 129 years ago on March 12, 1888, in Lowndes County, Alabama. She died on August 13, 1974 in Detroit, Michigan. You can read more about my grandmother in this post Fannie Mae Turner Part 1.
I am the same age as my grandmother was when we posed together on her back steps. Looking at the photograph below of me and my granddaughter made me think about the endless circle and the passage of time.
The “Circle of Life” isn’t just a Disney song. What a delightful story!
I didn’t even know it was a Disney song! The older I get, the more I see the circle and the ongoingness of it all.
I love this post! The circle of life.
I had it unpublished for a long time. I decided now was the time to let it out into the world.
Beautiful, Kristin. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you Josna! And Blessings to you and yours.
I too love this post. While making peanut butter cookies with my grandson, I said to myself this should have been done before he came for his visit. We made a nice batch of cookies but we were messy. I looked at his little face and I realized we were making a memory. Maybe the next time we bake, I can have someone take pictures so he will have a photo to go with his memories of us cooking together.
Linda, I’m sure he enjoyed the cookies even more since he helped make them. Someday a photo might bring back a whole flood of memories of you and cooking together.

those 70’s pictures show how much life has changed in 58 years and those twelve year old pics show how much life is the same!
gem!
Wonderful post! I think of it a lot myself lately.
the two photos & the three people in them. A perfect juxtaposition X
