From Stick Figures to Robust Life Stories

Who are these people?  I call this size of photo “Stick Figures” because you really can’t tell much about them.  This was in my mother’s album, and she was almost 80 when I saw it and asked her questions.  I did my best to write down everything she said.  These people were in their later

Photos & Stories – Too Many Yet Not Enough

I remember opening a packaged roll of film and putting it into my camera – and yes, pulling the tab of the film roll across the back of the camera to latch into the roller, then closing the back plate of the camera and scrolling to show “#1” in the viewer (or was it #24,

You never think it will happen to you…it just happens to other people.  But I learned differently last week. I was doubly excited to go to Salt Lake City for a week with my good friend.  First –  she had never been on a genealogy trip to the Family History Library and it was on

I loved Shelley Murray’s blog on this — When we come off a great vacation, what is the first thing we do?  Unpack, throw the laundry in and start the washing machine.  The process continues until done, folded neatly and placed in the right dresser in the right room.
