Rejoice With Your Family

Quote says, "Rejoice With Your Family in the Beautiful land of Life." 
by Albert Einstein

This was for a Heritage Challenge at A Cherry On Top.

I have no clue who the man on the left is and I'm guessing the lady may be their Grandmother. The other 2 men are my uncles (by marriage) who have sadly passed. I'm guessing this photo at least 50-60 yrs. old by the looks of them.

I used various papers from my stash -

Don't Bug Me!

We've been to Mexico many times before, but while at the Riviera Maya we stayed at the Sandos Caracol Eco-Resort. We didn't realize it would be so totally surrounded by tropical rainforest. All the paths were surrounded by trees, brush, and even swamps. Which is the perfect breeding ground for mosquitos. They never sprayed for bugs or anything either. We used repellant in the evening but not walking back to the room from the beach in the afternoon. Mosquitos like me and I ended up with many mosquito bites. (October 2015)

We R Memory Keepers 'Anthologie' Background Paper
