Other Families and a Special Birthday

Who were they? The people in these vintage family photos from long ago. Family outings and reunions in front of country houses; chubby faced babies; pretty girls in white dresses; little boys in Sunday suits........

............mamas and papas with serious faces; grandparents staid and starched; sweet young things in Summer dresses and straw hats.

Don't you wonder how our family photos will be viewed in years to come? Sad to think that technology has changed everything. We will not be be sepia toned on sturdy card stock with deckle edges and hand inked borders. Instead someone will type in a password to pull us up in full color on a bright screen. They will not hold us in their hand wondering which family member we were.

Don't you love how Susie, Jenny and the creative gals at SuzAnna's Antiques have displayed this great array of old family photos?

Yesterday was Susie's birthday. Vanessa was back from Brazil, Anna, armed with her own chainsaw (brave woman!) to help a friend chop down a tree, and yours truly, just had to accept Jenny's invitation to stop by the shop to celebrate with cupcakes and great company.......and we were gifted too. $5.00 off anything in the shop coupons so you know we had to buy something - show you later!
