I thought Google knew me!<br /><br />My family only knew of the picture of the pies and the mirror (my grandfather is the one with the fork to his mouth) until I stumbled upon the Library of Congress collection about 6 years ago. I was excited to tears! I particularly love the picture of my uncle lifting the pot lid. He told me the photographer told him to do it:)<br /><br />There are also pictures in the collection of my mother and uncle in their one-room school house. My mom remembered the photographer at Thanksgiving, but she did not remember him being at the school. Those pictures were really a surprise to her.<br /><br />Today we enjoyed Thanksgiving with our 6 children, 4 daughters/sons in-laws and 3 grand children. We give thanks for God's goodness to us!<br /><br />Heather (aka MomFlack)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13350754311280142922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-36150276339296454752012-11-22T16:56:43.277-08:002012-11-22T16:56:43.277-08:00Dear Unknown,

Though it is easy to think of older, better times, these photos have such a universal quality about them, particularly the looks on faces; the one photo, number 4, capturing the looks of three people in the mirror, one could flush out a powerful short story right there.<br /><br />Of course as I typed it, I realized that there were older, worse times, too. Yet, the richness here overwhelms the negative thoughts. <br /><br />Giving thanks for the sharing of these things. May we all today have a glimmer of happiness in this now.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DonIssa's Untidy Huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352841590717991698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-5806243236024247652011-11-24T06:49:35.817-08:002011-11-24T06:49:35.817-08:00Fascinating to think of Jack Delano spending his T...Fascinating to think of Jack Delano spending his Thanksgiving among the Rogerines. I can't say things have been anything but difficult and disappointing lately (there are always notable exceptions and things to be very thankful for, but that's the summing up), but visiting other worlds and trying to figure out the "other" vs. the things you recognize keeps things lively. Thank you for this. CurtisACravanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315707533118640284noreply@blogger.com
