The Wheels On The Pram Go Round & Round ~ Remembering My Mom & Her Parents In A Happier Time

 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2025: Week 20 (WHEELS)

This week I shift my style of blogging.

For the next several weeks I will post a photo and a brief description. 

This new style of posting is due to CMC Arthroplasty surgery on my left thumb. 

I will continue with this style until my thumb has sufficiently recovered.

This week's photo features a happier time in my maternal family line. 

Jack & Amy with their firstborn child Jacki who would grow up to be my mom.

I chose this photo for 3 reasons:

1. there are wheels on that stroller even if you can't see them
2. this year was my 11th Mother's Day without my mom 
3. this is an important point in the tale of how my story began

Looking at this young family you can almost feel the joy, and aren't they pretty!

This happy moment wouldn't last - Jack & Amy's marriage would dissolve, but for this photo shows they were happy at one time.

Amy Almeda Bayes

and

Seeing this happy moment in time!!! 

This is why I search -

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
