Old Photos (continued)

Well, finally, I got the other two photos on a blog page. I had to go into another blog and upload the photos, then copy the Html and paste it here. It worked! I have tried it before and it didn't work!

This is a really cute picture of June, my 1st cousin, and my sister, Betty. This was taken in 1947 when Betty was 11 years old and June was 14. I think the old car was my Daddy's. I recognize the houses across the street from our house. I don't think any of them are in existence anymore. Maybe the white one. I don't recognize the little girl in the background on the right. She is standing by a bicycle.

This is a darling picture of June's sister, Gladys. Gladys was about 12 years old in this picture. I found this in Mama's old photos and it had a note on the back from Gladys to our Grandmother Ollie. Gladys was thrilled to see the picture again as she doesn't have many pictures of herself as a child. She told me seeing it again was like having a thousand dollars. She was so excited. I cut it out and put this frame around it and added her name and a rose. I was so glad to do this for her since it meant so much to her. I also mailed her the original photo that she had sent to our Grandmother when she was a young girl. That is why I love researching family history. Little things like this mean so very much. It is such a good feeling to bless someone with wonderful memories. That is what is so wonderful about pictures. They capture memories that you could not possibly remember in the detail that a picture gives. Stories behind those pictures are priceless also.
