These are mostly from Holly Springs except for Dad sitting there all by himself for a Hagerstown photographer. Clockwise from Dad: Holly Springs house in the early 1900s; Mother in her 20s; Daddy around the same time (they were married in 1917 but I don't think there are any wedding photos); my wedding photo of July 3, 1943 (see older post); me as a school girl and I can't remember which school that's from. The photo in the center is of Memaw, Miss Aggie and Miss Mary - my mother, her mother and my aunt.
I had the pleasure of being at Mom and Dad's when these photos were artistically hung on the Powder Room wall by local artist, Ann Snyder. It was decided these photos would make a nice collage, but we needed a young picture of Mom. Mom looked through her photo album, this grade school photo was selected, an old frame was found then Ann displayed them. The smiles, warmth and love of those folks on the Powder Room wall bring me joy.
The posts on this web log are mostly photos of objects that came from my parent's home when they moved in October 2006. It felt like my world was being taken apart. I didn't really want all this stuff. I liked it where it was; in John and Emily's house. So with this blog I guess I'm trying to put that world back together again. That can't be done. But through the objects in the photos in these "posts," and most importantly through the "comments" and "posts" that other family members add, a new world of memories, recollections and stories can be gathered.

Other Ways to See the Comments and the Posts
To see a "post" with its "comments" open and readable on the same page just click on the name of the post. I like this alternate layout because it's the comments, the stories about the stuff, that are the heart of this blog. Without the stories, it's just stuff. In this alternate layout click on NEWER POST or OLDER POST to navigate. Use HOME to return to the standard layout.
Another way to navigate is to use the BLOG ARCHIVE below. Just click on a POST TITLE and go right to that page.
Or use the SEARCH BLOG function at the very top of the blog.
