During the 1970's, as my little brood traveled to Washington during the summer Judy and I had a chance to plan some projects together. ...

Unfortunately, taken with a midget camera without more than 1 pixel but it's still worth saving.  I think.

This is another very early picture. I thought I was being creative by taking at an angle.  Steve and Ann were a more captive audience than t...

Isn't this picture worth the $1.98 the Brownie cost me? Can you see the canvas clothespin bag?

Probably not the first roll of film.  I'm guessing the Baby Brownie came in either 1946 or 1947.  I don't know why I bought it or wh...

This is an item from the past. If my memory is correct, the story about this scarf goes like this. It was given to Dad by a "dudene...

This little saying hung in Mother and Dad's home in Tumwater. I had such dreams of cross stitching it, however, as you can tell, that h...

This article was forwarded to me by a friend. I think it is important information and makes me even more determined to get things into pape...

I have been messing up the blog in stages.  Feel free to change back.  Now must fix the transparent background and text color but am exasper...
