glittermom and her first boyfriend???ok, enough scanner fun for today. it's been a nice diversion from worrying about the tv crew coming to our home tomorrow. no point in worrying, so i am going to watch tv and chill. tomorrow will be an all new day to start freaking out like a ninja!

I love these kind of pictures. Recently - at my grandmothers funeral :-( I saw some pictures of her from when she was in Italy.
She was riding a military motor cycle and smiling (some young officer must have let her ride).
Geneology has always interested me. I think I know the least about my fathers family.
thanks for commenting white-bread!
i have loved looking at photo albums since i was a kid. these pics all come from my grandma's photo album that i pulled out every time i was over, which was all the time.
it's been really lovely, looking at the photos and scanning them, adjusting the lighting and exposure to get a better looking pic.
i am seeing details in these photos i never saw before. seeing them larger & on the iMac screen is amazing.
isn't it amazing to see our grandparents so young and care free? maybe you can get a copy of that photo of your grandma on the motor cycle and scan it?
:)
My wife has a collection of scrap-books you would be amazed at. A few of them even contain pictures of me about 100 pounds lighter :-)
I love these old-time pictures. Keep em coming!
Yep that was my 1st boyfriend at the age of 4....Got an early start.
Check out my knees!!!
I never thought you and stick lady looked alike till I saw these photos, they are so cute!
I'm pretty certain that the picnic with beer was the equivalent of MySpace for back in the day...
