After Christmas my brother and I took Mom & Dad out for a birthday dinner since both of their birthdays are in January. Before leaving for the restaurant we looked through some old photo albums which I hadn't seen in quite awhile. Mom let me take a couple of albums home to scan a few pics out of them. PhotoShop did a good job sharpening these B & W photos.

I am nutty for vintage family photos. My grandfather died last year and I inherited 30 albums of wonderful old photographs. I had the most fun scanning and correcting them. It's an on going project. Yours are lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour new header and profile pic are toooo cool!
Love Mia's outfit. She was probably the envy of all the girls back then. We enjoyed the pics of Grandmom and Granddad too. The kids were really surprised at the cars in the background.
ReplyDeleteLike Willow I am sooo into old photos, can't get enough of them, in fact I love all things old especially old books. The photos are great BB thanks for sharing them.
