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.
ReplyDeleteShe 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!
ReplyDeletei 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 :-)
ReplyDeleteI love these old-time pictures. Keep em coming!
ReplyDeleteYep that was my 1st boyfriend at the age of 4....Got an early start.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my knees!!!
ReplyDeleteI never thought you and stick lady looked alike till I saw these photos, they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty certain that the picnic with beer was the equivalent of MySpace for back in the day...
