Going Back in Time...

I am working on a Shutterfly photo book for my Grandma Miller for her 80th birthday in August. I know that is still a ways off, but I know it will be here before I know it. My uncle John sent me some old photos to go through, which I have been doing last night and tonight. I have been scanning the photos that I may want to use in Grandma's book. I want pictures from her childhood, her dating days with Grandpa, and pics of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

I love looking at old pictures. It brings back such fond memories. Pictures can make you smile, laugh, sigh, and even cry. I guess it is true that a picture says a thousand words.

Here are some pictures I found interesting in my search. Do you recognize anyone in these pics?

My Grandpa Miller serving in the Army in Germany during WWII


My Dad with his brothers. Dad is the third from the left in the back row.


Grandpa and Grandma in Florida...I believe during Sea Breeze Camp Meeting in 1986.


Grandma with her grandkids. I am on Grandma's lap, Robin sitting next to her, and Mindie is hold James on her lap.


James and I with Uncle Steve



That's my Momma!



I may post some more pictures as I find them. I think it is fun to go back in time, don't you?

Love to remember things from the past. A picture can trigger a memory that you thought you had forgotten...

Candle Giveaway!

Image
Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
