Here are a few more that Aunt Naomi sent in. Anyone care to guess at a date for each photo (I couldn’t even tell you if they were taken in the same decade).

Boy that motion and Grandma’s face look like she was swattin’ his hand away from whatever she’s holding…..I wonder what it is?
It will forever be a mystery what they were looking at…it looks like a big envelope…but what is in it??? An amzing story could be built around ‘the envelope.’
Speaking of treasure maps (sort of). When we were little, Uncle Mahlon had me absolutely convinced that there was a cave on the farm. He had forgotten where it was, but if I just kept looking, someday I would find it.
Looks to me like they are looking at an open book and the pages are being blown by the wind. Wonder what book would be so important to them to have a picture of them looking at it? She looks young there.
Peter that is Uncle Bud. Elizabeth is on the left, Lillian is on the right, and uncle bud who was the baby at that time is in the middle. isn’t he a beautiful baby. I agree with Christina about the picture of Mother and Father.I wish we knew how old they were at that time.
Sorry Peter, I miss understood your little joke. Julie explained it to me. They were all so cute.Julies boyfriend was there that day. I don’t know why he wasn’t on the picture. Those were the good old days at Grandmas house. We are so lucky to have these pictures. The 2 pictures of Grandma and Grandpa and Grandpa and his first 3 children, I had never seen before.I was surprised that that pictures existed that I had never seen.Julie just gave me a new phone that does everything. She has been trying to teach me to use it today. Julie said it you all call me your numbers will be in my phone. I am not sure if I will know what to do if the phone rings
her cell # is 573-230-8222. She needs practice with nice people that wont get mad at her if she accidentally hangs up on them! She could use practice texting too!
I just got a NEW qwerty keyboard phone recently…and I can tell you this, I never swore so much in my life using it, but I’ve got it down pretty well now. I had to use it at work and didn’t have any choice, so I think that is the key to learning to use ther dern things. Just use it all you can right away. I like the qwerty because the one I had before I had to press the keys 3 or 4 times to make alphabets.

Maybe it’s the secret treasure map of where they buried the gold! Oh, wait, that’s in the love our family all has for each other!
