They all went to her sisters and brother. I think that is why I love to look at other people's old photos. (And why I like to buy old photos at flea markets and thrift stores.) Nancy's are great and I may use them as prompts for my writers group. We've come up with some great poems and stories based on photos.<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of the scrapbook you said you have.

Oh how we wish his mother would have shared with us, but out of sight/out of mind I guess. <BR/><BR/>I enjoy looking through them from time to time.Pat in east TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654095647835294718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-48743339717912533372008-06-11T16:17:00.000-04:002008-06-11T16:17:00.000-04:00I like this photo so much I launched into what is ...I like this photo so much I launched into what is either a short story or a chapter in the new book, based on these three.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-11888408390626933742008-06-11T15:55:00.000-04:002008-06-11T15:55:00.000-04:00I love these old photos.

Since I've gotten interested in genealogy, I spend hours looking at old family photos hoping to find clues that will give me dates, names, anything...<BR/><BR/>Nancy is lucky, she seems to have quite a bit of detail with her photos. <BR/><BR/>I think the gentleman in the suit is holding a pipe? He looks a little like Edward Everett Horton to me. The granddad is indeed a handsome fellow and his hound looks like a good'un.Roses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.com
