This photo was more than likely taken on a Saturday morning. The back of the photo is imprinted with MAY 83. It was taken at the Shoney's that used to be in Attalla, AL (now a Krystals). We'd get together a lot for birthdays and the like at Shoney's. Shoney's at that time was about the only place you could go to get a hot breakfast. You can usually double-click on the image to get a larger and closer view. Brook and Don are not present - so one of them is manning the camera.Up front from left to right, Robby is holding Carrie, Irene is next to Dad, Cindy, Florrie holding Liz, and Dan's holding Charity. In the back left to right - a part of Jennie's head, Jennifer, Mom, and me behind Florrie.
We had a lot of family gatherings (Elrods, Finlaysons, Rakestraws, Noojins) in those days. Now about the only time we all get together is for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even though we lost Dad back in 1990 - the family has added quite a few members. We used to fill up a long table - now we fill up a large room. There's been more begotting since this photo was taken.
Does anyone in the family know what event we were celebrating this day?
