Old Family Photos

I love old photos and already have a few great ones of both my family and Justin's family hanging in our home. Recently my Uncle Dale took the time to take photos from my Great-Grandma Jane's photo albums and scan them into flickr so that everyone in the family could have access to them. I AM THRILLED. Here are a few of my favorites that may soon end up on our walls:


my Grandma Jane and Grandpa Ray



my Grandma Phyllis with my Uncle Don and Uncle Matt



my Great-Great Grandma Rie



my Grandma Jane standing in front of the house my Grandpa Ray built for them in Wendell


How fantastic are these old Wendell basketball uniforms? My Grandma Jane is in the front row on the left.



my Grandma Jane with two friends (standing for portraits on rocks seemed to be a trend)


Thank you so much to Uncle Dale for doing this for us and Aunt Eileen, if you read this, please correct any errors! How great is it to see our ancestors in different points in their lives? I love to see the clothes and activities and trends, to see again family members now gone and look for family resemblances. These truly are such a treasure.
