Reaaaaalllly Old School

I was going through some pictures my brother Carl put from slides and negatives to disc for the family of my Mom's dad's photography. I just felt like posting a few to share. I couldn't find a good one I liked of my mom with her twin brother yet, but there are hundreds more to sift through....
My two oldest brothers, Carl and Wade 18mo apart in age. cutest picture ever.

My daddy Allan


my mom's parents, grandma Grace and Grandpa "E". the funny thing about this picture is that they aren't smiling. they were always smiling and laughing and had the best time but every picture of my grandmother, is this face. They are both in heaven now, together. ;)


great shot of grandpa "E".





My mother is the cutest little thing on the left (karla) and her beautiful older sister is on the right (graylyn). Los Angeles circa 1946ish?





My Aunt Graylyn was a talented artist. She was very quirky and had a great sense of humor in her art as well. The drawing above is one of a set she did for my Grandfather of his golf game, they were very entertaining. I have 3 of the 6 or so prints she did, that I need to frame and display at my house.
