Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt: Family

Posted on October 18, 2008 by Barbara Harper

Theme: Family| Become a Photo Hunter

I’ve missed the last several Photo Hunts — I was too busy some weekends, on others I just drew a complete blank with the given topic.

This is one of my favorite plaques:

It says:

Families are like quilts–
Lives pieced
and stitched together,
Colored by happiness and tears,
Bound by memories
and love,
Cherished throughout
the years.

We got it years ago In Chattanooga while there on a trip given to my husband as a reward for something he had done in the company. I love both what it says and the style.

Visit TN Chick for more photo hunters.

That really is beautiful… and I like the comparison. Quilts aren’t perfect, but they’re made from the scraps of treasured things.

Have a happy weekend!
