It's sad to look at an old photography of an ancestor and have no idea who they are and how you are related to them. Still I cannot bear to part with them, so they remain in the box. <br />I love the photo of you in the high chair with all the family. A moment in time captured becomes a treasure!<br />Blessings,<br />VStickhorsecowgirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167094045033324094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-13944690765922082182011-02-06T01:52:44.042-05:002011-02-06T01:52:44.042-05:00LOVE david shannon! my son has quite a few of his...LOVE david shannon! my son has quite a few of his books. when my son was younger he loved the junie b. jones series by barbara park. he won't read them now because they are "girl books"...i on the other hand still love to read them =o) that metal trayed high chair in your photo sure brought back memories...talk about a blast from your past!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018811286255767003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-90881449172664504592011-02-05T20:05:23.413-05:002011-02-05T20:05:23.413-05:00I love your post.

The wife had gone blind, and they were both only children, and had had no children. My mom asked the wife what she wanted done with all the photos. Answer: Just throw them away. <br />It was so sad.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-38970579914102739442011-02-05T17:33:01.538-05:002011-02-05T17:33:01.538-05:00Love the old pic's...and the little cutie who ...Love the old pic's...and the little cutie who refuses to eat!

It's the same as mine :)<br />My parents were the first in their families to own a camera so there aren't many photos of grandparents or distant relatives except for a few very precious studio portraits. My husband's parents never owned a camera! I think I'm the one who made up for the few photos in ours lives :) <br /><br />Happy belated birthday to your grandsons!

It's a bit, um, odd/creepy/unsettling. My mom was SO glad to get it off her wall!<br />Oh, and you hair looks great in both the pictures.

Love your sense of humor. ...Good morning dear Vee,<br /><br />Love your sense of humor. I always look so forward to your writing and sharing.<br /><br />Nope, I've never tilled. This was originally taught to me by my Grandfather's best friend Robert E. Lee. Then about 30 years ago I read books by an opinionated lady named Ruth Stout. She was a huge proponent of no till. <br /><br />When Jeff and I planted our big herb gardens etc. in Cambria we built it upon a hard pan red rock parking lot (all owned by Angela Lansbury and bought land from her). We piled soil, manure, and straw into beds we built of rock. From then on I was sold. <br /><br />When Angela came to our garden to hold her brother's memorial service she couldn't believe how they're grown and flourished. She said, "I feel as though I am in England, I feel as though this garden has been here 100 years (but it had been there a short time).<br /><br />Works for me!<br /><br />Sharon Lovejoy Writes from Sunflower House and a Little Green IslandSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-19793443798265336072011-02-05T11:44:11.273-05:002011-02-05T11:44:11.273-05:00After my dad died last year my sister and I had to...After my dad died last year my sister and I had to go through everything even the picture albums.
