Nothing new to report

I was sick for a couple of weeks and low on energy.  Then, Nick got sick.  So I have not written any more here or made any plans.

As soon as I have anything to share, I will!

Thinking of Family

These pictures were taken almost 10 years ago.  A big group of us Thompsen/ Thompson cousins.

All of us are descended from these two people:

Karen and Nicoli had five sons, Erling, Ralph, Theodore (my dad) , Norris and James (Jimmy).

The family picked a color for their family- for example Erling's descendants all wore green shirts, Ralph's family wore white shirts etc.

Erling's son, Carl and his wife Leslie plus their children and grandchildren

Eldon, Carl and Elinore, Erling's children and their children and grandchildren

John, Susan and Jim, Norris's children, and Aunt Alice, their mother

Great-grandchildren of Nicolai and Karen

Ralph's family wore white shirts
