Texture Tuesdays - Gratitude


Thought this John F. Kennedy gratitude quote was appropriate for this last week in November. When President Kennedy was assassinated I was just five years old and in Kindergarten and remember most of the details and feelings of that day even at such a young age.  What I remember most was how upset my parents were over losing their first Irish Catholic President.   

I'm sharing today with Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesdays.  Today I used Kim's new Benjamin Franklin texture, which could be my new favorite.

    I grew up on the north shore of Boston and am Irish Catholic. My neighbors had an old black and whit picture of Kennedy hanging on the wall in their living room. I like your image very much.

    His term was far too short lived! I was a high school Jr. and that day is still quite a vivid memory. He has some wonderful quotes to share with the Americans. Love your photo!!

    I can't imagine living through something like that. My husband lived in a foreign country and was about 7-He too remembers how upset all the adults were...even across an ocean JFK had an impact. Thank you for sharing. visiting from Kim Klassen.
