I have a lot of black and white family photos, but there are many that I have no idea who everyone is.

I even bought one once because I not only loved the picture, but the note written on it is hilarious! I'll have to find it and post it on my blog sometime.

I'm especially pulled by "before" and "after" shots like you've got here; I love seeing people as children and then adults...especially when they are all together and smiling as adults...clues to happiness and good lives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658880722411505714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-57992646665189309052013-08-17T22:32:12.794-07:002013-08-17T22:32:12.794-07:00Kathy, Hope all is well.

I'm sure you enjoyed having your grandsons visit-they are handsome guys. How is your grandson that goes to TCU ? Will he be playing football this Fall? Take care, my friend.

They remind me of earlier times, and often the pictures are taken during happy times, times when it must have seemed so much was possible and there was hope for even more happiness. In many of our old family photos I remember the hope was dashed and lives did not turn out as expected. Therein lies the "bittersweet" part. The knowledge of how so many family members lives 'really were very hard and very tragic. It is a blessing to not know the future, and even more a blessing to be thankful for each days' many sweet moments.<br /><br />It is wonderful you have so many photos to add to your family history.

It's kinda funny. When my hubby and I wander through antique shops, I like to linger over the boxes of old photographs. My hubby doesn't understand that. As he says, "You don't KNOW those people!" Doesn't matter. The pics are amazing, especially the sepia ones. They seem to capture a moment in time better than new-fangled cameras do.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-8231622889333065972013-08-17T08:24:14.788-07:002013-08-17T08:24:14.788-07:00It's so nice to have pictures dating that far ...It's so nice to have pictures dating that far back.
