Delightful and insightful snapshots Kim. The last one stands in stark contrast, like a jolt back to the present, as if we were suddenly entering someone's 'reality', after the journey down memory lane. Amitiés

A sad image, after my daughter divorced her husband. Of course, i took his picture off. I then removed all photos. The ones I have now on the refrigerator are school pics. See, I went out if my way not to hurt the grandkids affected by the divorce. Nevertheless, it fits the theme of snapshots.
