I couldn't help but to add a second Sepia Saturday post this week. Right now, I seem to be posting up a storm...the ideas are flowing once again. This one an easy read though:
My Dad, Ralph, is the little tow-headed guy in the middle. These kids are standing in front of a rural store. At the time this picture was taken, my Grandparents, Delmer and Agnes Summers Johnson, along with Dad, were living in Summers, Arkansas. This photo was taken around 1939.
So, there you are, my friends. If you enjoyed this story, please visit my Sepia Saturday friends by "CLICKING HERE" to find other neat photos and stories. To read more about my family and other stories featuring old photos, memories and more, please look for this picture of me and my dad on the left-hand sidebar to read whatever else catches your fancy. Thanks so much for visiting!

Kathy, this is a wonderful picture. It is amazing of the lives our family before us lived, and when we can see it in their old photos.

Oh I love, love vintage pics and this are great! Yeah, more or less all families lived like this..great post! Thank you for your lovely visit. My hubs owned a ceramic co. for 30 years, he sold it four years ago, we don't have it at present. Hugs,

That's a great photo. It's amazing to see where people came from and how it contrasts to today.
What a great family photo! Thank you for sharing.
General stores seem to attract dogs. And the Coca Cola ads look the same thru the years. Nice picture!
That is one rough'n'tumble store, but also it's a great look into the lives of your family.
Great post. I really like old photos. Although, I love how my parents look today, I really enjoy seeing photos of them in their prime.
Hopefully it is the family dog that just managed to get into the shot.
It Looks A Really Hot Day In Your Photo.The "Drink" sign seem appropriate! The wee child seem about to speed off for a drink of soda meThinks!
What a fun blog you have! I 'm going to poke around here a bit more to see more black and white or sepia photos!
What cute kids and a cute pup, too. Your dad was so cute. A wonderful photo.

Absolutely full of character, that photo is!
Cute kiddos. But your Dad was cutest. I'd love to play with that dog near the sacks of ... no idea.... Fun post this was.
Thanks again Kathy for sharing a picture full of character(s).
A lovey photograph so evocative of the era.
Thanks for stopping by my blog - I appreciate every visit.
Old, vintage family photos are always beautiful. So many things to discover. Your dad looks cute! The two people sitting in the doorway, are they your grandparents?
Great picture - the little one to the right of your Dad doesn't look to happy about her cuddle though :-) Jo
Wonderful photo. I love the grouping of the children. Your Dad is adorable.
Another great photograph. And that's the nice thing about blogging - when the ideas and inspiration flows you can post as much as you like, and when the stream slows you can go with the flow.
I think that is a Dr. Pepper sign. I went to college in Waco, Tx., home of Dr. Pepper. I guess the drink made it to Arkansas by 1939. I love these old pictures!
What a bunch of complete together here! Great photo, I'd have to post it too. I just now completed, I believe stopping by everyone's post! Wow- that's a lot- I think it was 49! Amazing turn out! We had family over all day yesterday (Sunday) so I wasn't able to finish commenting until now!
Your dad was a cutie pie!
Great gathering!!
