Remember when we used to do Throwback Thursday?
I always enjoyed that. Mostly because I liked posting pictures of myself with a waistline. Ah… those were days.
But a memory popped up on my FB page the other day and I thought it was too fun not to share.
My husband was the second of 9 children. His mother was a mere slip of a woman and I often wondered how she stayed sane. Yes, it was a different era… but that’s still a lot of kids.
All but two were born in Maine as the family moved to a dairy farm in western Connecticut when my husband was 8.
7 of the 9 siblings are in this photo with his mother, the rest are cousins.

Can you guess which one is my husband?

River's world..... 
Not a dull moment with all those playmates. And what a courageous woman. Definitely different times.

I’m guessing the blond on the left who looks like he is holding a little one.

I can’t imagine having NINE children! I thought my two were going to do me in.
Is he the cutie up front sticking out his tongue? It looks like him now, sans tongue. 🙂

I can’t imagine it either.
But no, that was his brother.

Trick question. He’s down in the basement adding more treasures to the ever-growing pile.

He probably is…
But he’s also in the picture.
