Another Scanfest, another batch of photos to choose from! Thanks to Miriam for again doing a wonderful job hosting us all. The little book I scanned was among some things left in a box in my garage years ago. A step-son of my step-mother brought them, and told one of our daughters, these belong to … Read more
Papa’s pictures of Ricky Prater and the Midnight Travelers are posted. Since we last visited the Kentuckians of Michigan they took down the awful fence that was on the front of the stage.

Old photos, Granny’s childhood

Stuff goes on, and things take time. We’ve had a good garden year, but the rain stopped about a month ago, and everything is dying now. Things didn’t start out smoothly, either, but the middle portion of the summer was good to the grass, the garden and the trees. I did keep track with some … Read more
