I love to buy antique postcards when I am traveling away from my children...I leave the previous writing on the card and write my note right beside the old note! It carries the love on! My Granny had 2 dresser drawers full of her cards she received. She would always joke and say, "When I am gone you girls will say what is all this junk!" That junk is now a treasure to us all. Memories and history!

It bothers me that so many end up being 'altered'. I love geneology and don't have near as many pictures of my family so maybe that's why I am so drawn to these faces. Have a wonderful week!

I have one photo of them on their wedding day. One old black and white, creased from my holding it in my hands. Wondering why they left me? Wondering who my ancestors are, where I came from? I buy these old photos of strangers now and put them in my home and I love them. Everyone should have a place somewhere.<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634971010185114820.post-88773868188795083662009-12-06T13:55:10.762-07:002009-12-06T13:55:10.762-07:00Hi Sweet SIL - What a heartfelt post.

Several years before my Grandma passed away, I made her go through all of her photo albums, and in telling me about the pictures, she was telling me about herself, and it was just so fascinating to me. It made me see her as the young girl who came over from Czechoslovakia and had to work very hard to survive in a strange new country, instead of just seeing her as my Grandma! This was such a great post Sandy!<br />xo,<br />Carol★Carol★https://www.blogger.com/profile/18048131510779563893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634971010185114820.post-64431133200692151112009-12-05T20:00:54.097-07:002009-12-05T20:00:54.097-07:00I love the writing's in the cards I get.

I a...Sandy, your post today has really touched me. I always feel that same way about abandoned photos. I can't help but buy them on Ebay, because I feel like I need to keep someone's memory alive. Even if I never find out who they were. If that is the case, I usually make up a name for them. I then post them on my Flickr account to share with others. Due to forces beyond my control, a whole box full of my Grandmother's photos were lost. No one in the family passed them on, and I long for them deeply. Genealogy helps to stay connected to those whom have passed, and I embrace that wholeheartedly. Enjoy your Christmas memories!<br />MaureenCelestial Charmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09254781524622723594noreply@blogger.com
