Workmanly


I'm told my grandfather was a jack of all trades.  He did odd jobs to make ends meet during the depression.

Comically


So I saw this nice image of my grandmother and decided to scan it.  What I didn't realize until I blew it up, was the fact that she was inadvertently caught with her tongue sticking out.  I love it.

Wheely




The last in this "mom set" and my 1700th blog.

Mom really loved her bike.  Most of the archive pictures I have are of people, with the occasional homestead.  But she took a picture of her bike alone, which shows how important it was to her.  And a nice bike it was!

Candidly


You know when it's high school graduation day and you have the gown on and you're trying to adjust the mortar board and tassel "just so" before your mom takes your picture?  Yeah, mom always takes the picture while you're getting ready for the picture.  Mom in 1949.

Ingeniously


Mom, circa 1955.  What do you do when have a hard time reaching the top of your car with the wash rags?  You get on top of it and use your feet, of course.  And be sure to rinse out those rags for the next time.

Can you tell mom is afraid of heights?  Dad, not so much.

My mom cheesing for the camera.  I believe this was taken during her senior year of high school.

Happy Mother's Day.  A happy image of Mother and Daughter.  I will be featuring my mom for a few days as a tribute.

That's quite the house!  According to the back of the picture: this is Mae Rutherford, age 15, and Ernie Lanci, age 4, taken June 19, 1949, in Soper Park.

Cathartically


After a long hard winter, there's just something so cathartic about watching a Christmas wreath burn.

Classically


And that's why you always take your camera along.  Because you never know when someone with a 1957 Ford Ranchero will be shopping at Fleet Farm at the same time as you.  We do things classy in Minnesota.

This poor guy is always having a tough time whenever we stop to see him.
