Thursday, my favorite day of the week (well, in blogland at least) Time for class ladies and gentlemen. Run to Mrs. Matlock's room and join in on Alphabe Thursday. This week we have been assigned the letter Y. I've been waiting patiently for this one. I knew what I was going to post for Y clear back at the start of term! You see, my maiden name is "Younger", so it was a pretty easy choice :)
Ok, let's get the true confessions out of the way. Yes, I am related to this wanted man. My darling Cait made sure to get this picture for me when she visited the Crime and Punishment Museum in DC. Gee, thanks sweetie.
On to the present. We'll take a short jaunt down Younger Road...
To the old farm .....
The old milk barn still stands, patched with campaign signs....
This beautiful homestead was started by my grandparents, Roy and Charliee Fondren Younger
A couple of their children ...
Just a few of their grandchildren
And a few of their great grandchildren!
There are a whole mess of Youngers, impossible to get everyone in one picture! Hope you enjoyed my contribution for the letter Y. Now make sure to swing by and help Mrs. Matlock read this week's essays!

Love the pics of the farm. And what a beautiful family!
A nice take on Y! I love the photos too....and the blonde in the scarlet dress? Gee how sad it is that she's not at all attractive. Maybe we could host a telethon for her.
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
You must have been waiting for the letter Y..:-) It's so great to see the old house, and the new generations.
The infamous Younger Clan! Lol.
LOL! Am I the only one wanting to know what Cole Younger was "Wanted" for? Great post, wonderful memories and a beautiful family!
Oh, Kat! I had forgotten about your connection to Cole Younger! lol What a wonderful bunch, your family! And I love the pics of the old farm! I scrolled down and read your centus.

I just typed a comment and blogger said they couldn't put it through, so I'll try again. Once in a while that happens.
I wondered what the black sheep of the family did? I couldn't read the small writing under Cole's name.
Enjoyed meeting the Youngers!
