This collage of memories is based on the life and beauty of another one of my great aunts, Mattie Malvina Hamilton. She was the sixth of seven daughters, born in Kentucky in 1880. Although I don’t remember her, I do know that she was a favorite sister of my grandmother. I wish I had listened more carefully to her stories of “Aunt Matt”.....
CHEF clabudak wants us to experiment with vintage-tinged collage techniques, a genre that some of us may find difficult at first. She says, "I wanted to give others a chance to branch out a bit if they haven't tried it before" (or even if they have!!).

A quick snap in poor light - I removed a distracting background in Photoshop and then processed with Topaz Impressions - HSS!
Lucretia's hilarious great Aunt Hilda is always lots of fun to visit. Hilda insists that the ill-fitting wig helps her to look centuries younger, but Lucretia thinks it just makes her look a little crazy!

Dear Aunt Sassy,
There is a man who I am madly in love with, but he pays no attention to me. He drools over a red-head at lunch who doesn’t care about him in the least. How do I get him to notice me?

Dear Frustrated,
If he ain’t paying attention and you’re sending signals, then leave a tack on his chair. Keep doing that and he’ll try to figure out who is doing it. If you get caught just give him, you now, The Look. He’ll get the idea. Moral: the way to a man’s heart is through the seat of his pants.

I think that Aunt Martha has been out in the cold for too long!

I spent the night with my nephews, and they were up early in the morning ready to go exploring, no time to get ready with these two, got to hop in the shower and run, we went and explored a historical Civil War site, they were acting silly with me and having fun for their Mom in front of the camera, and yes they did take off their football gear before we left the house...but they would wear it out if they could I'm sure, these two are a riot, we had a blast, I love them both...Aunt Kewlgrrl
This shot was captured during my last visit Masai Mara,Sept 2017 when early in the morning while driving along the game reserve we came across a pride of lioness with cubs basking in the morning sunshine under a shady bush......the cubs watched by two lioness who one can be the mother and the aunt...it's a close knit group in the lions pride.....

Made this lemonade recipe for our Father's Day dinner and my daughter gave me the idea of shooting the photo above the glass. I picked the mint from the garden and brought in some complimentary colors. The recipe is so simple and very refreshing. Disclaimer: Aunt Frances is not my aunt, but I do know she made her nieces very happy with this treat.
Aunt Frances' Lemonade
4 lemons
4 limes
4 oranges
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 quarts of water
Juice the fruit and combine all the ingredients in a pitcher or other serving container. Chill or pour over ice. Slice fruit for a garnish. Enjoy!
Ok, technically she's my husband's aunt, but I claim her as my own. She will be 96 in just a few days,
Aunt Esther arrived. My father’s youngest sister pulled into our Wickham Road driveway. She was driving cross country by herself. As a child, growing up on the Saskatchewan prairie, she had been ill with scarlet fever, kept in bed for months. My father Max, older by six years, had been tasked by their mother to watch over her. For his whole life, he took his assignment seriously. But Esther, much to Max’s exasperation, had little use for anyone else’s direction, opinion, or protection. If he gave her unsolicited advice, she’d shake her tossle of loose curls, raise her hands in frustration and turn away. I heard my parents talking about her: Esther this and Esther that. My mother bristled at Esther’s criticism of her going along with my father too much.
Esther got out of the car. We stood along the drive to greet her. She waved away our gesture to hug hello. Instead, wearing short shorts and a sleeveless top, she did cartwheels across the front yard. Then walked on her hands back to us. No traces of sickliness in her lithe, tanned body now. I’d never seen a woman with dark hair on their legs or sprouting from their armpits. Was she a woman or a man? Something other, I decided.

Thanks for viewing my photo albums:
We so could be mother daughter/Aunt and Niece or whatever you feel we are.
But basically we are just such good friends the age gap doesn't mean anything for we are both forever young at heart.
Last night we had a good old natter mainly about both our little travels during September /October what with the hen do and wedding i attended and Janet's family visit. we also touched on the ethics of raising a trans child something we differing opinions on. Janet being way more supportive than i am on that subject.
Its good to discuss things like that though for opinions can change when presented with a different viewpoint.
I still feel a lot of trans children are moved in the wrong direction through kindness for I believe puberty is a great leveller of ones mental and emotional state with regards gender and sexuality. Just my view not right not wrong just my own experience really.
Anyway enough of the deep stuff,
Isn't this a lovely photo?
She died when she was 27 and my mom was 25. I found all of these photos of her that I hadn't ever seen before at my grandfathers. She looks like my kind of girl.
Wouldn't it have been so nice to have a loving Aunt Margie to help us explore our feminine side when we were young.
And now, something so diabolical, so fantastic, you'll be sitting on the edge of your toilet seat (with or without paper at your disposal... forgive the pun!!!!). She's ruthless, bloodthirsty, and wants revenge, and on her terms!
My Aunt Barbara knocked out cold from her white wine. It's such a tease when she passes out with her nice big butt up in the air and her sexy soles showing, drives me crazy.

my Francis Bacon (painter) style artwork. i love my aunt & (late) uncle yet could not resist making this:
Located on Tom Sawyer Island, this used to sell sandwiches, etc., back in the day. (We tried it in the late 80's early 90's). Now it's down to 2 vending machines selling Coke products and water. I didn't think that the ham & cheese sandwiches were that great, but if they sold good food, you'd think that they would make more money. Just a thought. :-)

One would think that by now--at her advanced age--she would exhibit some sense of decorum.
Keep thinking.
