Sacrificially


 Freedom isn't free.  Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day.

 Mom and her grandmother.  So cute!  Mom's hat sure is big and floppy.

Fondly


 My mom and my grandmother again.  Such a lovely photo.  Grandma looks so kind and loving.

Prominently


 Those sure are big, shiny buttons on mom's dress!

 Little mom and my grandpa.  She looks so cute, clinging to her daddy.

Grandmother and mother.  So cute.  Although mom looks like she wants to run off somewhere and play.

It doesn't take much to keep me entertained.

Hokey


 Love is in the air, or at least in the fake garden with the fake picket fence.

Eventfully


 Another of my mom's folks on their wedding day.  I really like the dressy heels the ladies are wearing.  


Techie Corner

Many of these old negatives from the wedding and such are larger than the scan area of my negative scanner.  

Most of them I've been cropping, but this one was taken closer in, so there was no easy way to get their heads and their shoes in the picture at the same time.

This is a composite of two separate negative scans.  It took some editing to meld the two, but I like the result.  

The fog at the top appears to be light-leak from before the film was developed.  It would take a lot of work to fix it, so I didn't bother this time around.

Informality


 Young dad, chillin'.

Joyfully


Grandma and grandpa loved children so very much.  They tried to have kids for many years, but my mom was the only child that lived.  Look at how happy she is with her little bundle of joy, my mom.

Glassy


 I went out to lunch with a friend today and was amazed by these gorgeous, gigantic bottles.

Farcically


Why does her dress decoration look like toilet paper? Maybe this was considered a fashion statement in 1925.

Progeny




 Four generations – my cousin, my great-aunt, my great-grandmother, and my great-great-grandmother. Circa 1920.

 Grandma in Kodachrome, 1957.  That wallpaper in the background is something else!  Wowie!

Complementary


 Grandma and Grandpa on their wedding day. At least I think it's their wedding day.   It must be before the wedding because he still has her ring on his finger.  What puzzles me is the lack of coats when they have coats on in other wedding pics.   That sure is quite a hat Grandma is wearing.  And Grandpa is in a fine mood.

Waggery


Paternal grandfather on the left.  I didn't recognize him at first because he was smiling.  Looks like they were goofing around.  Too funny.

Beamy


 Another picture of mom's folks on their wedding day.  My grandpa is typically Mr. Sobersides in pictures, but in this one, he is in rare form with a gigantic smile on his face.  It makes him look a lot younger.
