Spinning Wool At Home

I found this under a tall tree. When was this taken? All the good ol’ days captured in one shot. The photo is mounted on construction paper and laminated as to seal in the memories.

Freddy?

My dad bought some property in this little town called Iola. There was an old barn and farmhouse on the property and I have found lots of cool antiques in the barn. I was helping to take the old sheet-rock off the walls and this fell next to me in the biggest bedroom.

Halloween Goodness

I was walking home this morning and I found this picture on the curbside a few days before Halloween. It is only about 2 x 3.5 inches. I think it was a sticker photo that got left out in the rain. I imagine that it must have slipped out of someone’s pocket when they were … Continued

It Saddens Me

I found this in a copy of the book “The Bridges of Madison County” that I bought at a yard sale. The mom in that book had a romantic rendezvous when her kids were out of town.

Genes Family

Cocktail and Cigs

I found this slide about 10 years ago when I moved into my house. It was found behind a built-in shelving unit in one of the bedroom closets that I removed when painting. I tossed it into a box of pictures since I had no slide projector or scanner to view it with. About a … Continued
