UNDER CONTROL (RIGHT SIDE)

Journaling reads:

O.K. So here we are...three sisters along with their daughters trying to pose for a serious picture. Can we do it? Well, yeah but there are complications involved. First of all, we're a bunch of giggle boxes when we get together, so the photographer hopes that all seven of us will control ourselves for one moment so that he can get a snapshot. GOOD LUCK!!! Second, we have an audience of family standing around watching as we try to compose ourselves and they (mainly the guys) are causing distractions by their comments at us or about us which refrains us from focusing towards the camera. Oh boy. So, here we go. PHOTO TAKE 1: Are we ready yet? Helen says, "No, wait!" We're not ready. Everyone is looking in opposite directions, it looks like Jackie is trying to keep a straight face, my eyes are partially closed and Tammy has started to burst with laughter. PHOTO TAKE 2: Well...Jackie tried, but she just couldn't hold it any longer. She has totally lost control of herself. Aunt Margaret is trying to calm her down so that we can be done with this. Aunt Fran is stuck in the middle and now she's starting to lose it!!! PHOTO TAKE 3: After several attempts, we finally managed to get a flawless picture. I have to commend my mother for sitting through this, because she is usually the first to let loose and she was on her best behavior.....at least for this session.
