A Bit of Nostalgia



Here is one of the photos we found that we thought was really cute.
My mom is at the right.  Photo is probably from about 1916.

Today, my sisters and I went through all [well, not all]
of Mom's old photographs.
It took some time to sort through them,
but we probably spent more time looking than sorting.




Some were old with the edges worn.
Some were faded, some were torn.

Some were of people we did not know.
And some that we remembered from long, long ago.
We found uncles and aunts, cousins, and brothers
grandpa & grandma, and great-grandmother.
There were pictures of babies, toddlers & teens,
Pictures of brides and even some queens.

Wedding pictures, baby pictures, they were all there,
Pictures of travels from everywhere.

Reminded how quickly time passes by. . .
Others have aged, but we all said, "not I!"

We divided the pictures for each of us nine,
Others were marked to be copied in time.

The rest of the pictures are really not junk,
So Laurie will put them away in her trunk!
