1954

A page I did of the four of us.

Dad

Here is a picture of Dad when he was a young boy. Today it has been 4 years since he passed away.

An Old Vacation Picture

This is me at age 15. We were on vacation in Colorado. I loved those family vacation road trips. Even as a teenager I loved them, unlike the teenagers you see on TV who are portrayed as being bored and annoyed that they have to go.

A Letter From Home

A scrapbook page of my great grandparents, Hugh and Adaline Mills. The picture of Adaline reading a letter was taken by her son, Chester. A lot of the Mill's pictures were by him. I like how he would put a title on them. I used Adaline's own signature on this page, I got it from her daughters(my grandmother, Audrey) report card.

Great Great Grandparents

This is Cordelia and Elijah Homan, they are my great great grandparents from my dads side (his mothers side). They were my great grandmother, Adaline's parents.

The Mills Family

I think this is a neat old picture of my Dad's maternal grandparents and his mother and uncle. It was taken on their farm in Kansas.

Fun Old Picture

I have always been fascinated with this old picture of my Grandfather, David Huey. Both men in the the picture are him. He took it himself using a timer on his camera I guess. I've always thought it was a neat picture.

Feb. 3rd Birthdays

Tomorrow is my birthday. It was also my grandma's birthday. I was born on her 60th birthday and thought I was special. I always considered myself as her favorite grandchild (shh, don't tell my siblings and cousins). Grandma passed away in 1972.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA"


This is the only picture I can find of just the two of us together.


Me as a baby, maybe around my first birthday

Bo and Jack

Mom and her brother "Jack"

Agnes and Harold Again

This is another picture of Aunt Aggie and Harold. I thought it interesting that Harold is dressed in a little sailor suit and he grew up and joined the Navy. Uncle Harold died when he was only 29 of a burst appendix. He left behind a wife and two young children, a girl and a boy and unborn twins also a girl and a boy. I never knew him. When Aunt Aggie grew up she had a family of three children. She was a registered nurse. I knew her quite well.

Agnes and Harold

This is Agnes and Harold, my mom's oldest sister and brother. These old pictures are the best! I love old vintage pictures.

Harlod and Jack

I am going to start posting some of the old vintage scrapbook pages I have done for a while.
I'll start with my mom's old family pictures.
these are Mom's two brothers, they were in the service during WW2. Harold was in the Navy and Norman(Jack) in (I think) the Air Force.

Animation

I already posted this scrapbooked page a while back but today I found an animated version I did of it. I have since forgotten how I did that. Anyway thought it was kind of cute.

My Tricycle

Here is me with my new tricycle I got for Christmas one year. What a neat trike! It had everything, a bell, a horn, a basket, handlebar shields and streamers! Boy did that trike get a lot of use. My own kids even played with it when they came along though it had lost all the neat things long long before.

Looking at the tree behind me in the picture I noticed the decorations. I can still remember those reindeer and snowman, they were made of Styrofoam. Even some of the balls were Styrofoam too. The reindeer's legs broke off as I remember.... I also can remember that red garland strung on the tree too. You can't see it in the picture but on top of the tree is (I'm pretty sure) a Santa face with a soft white beard. We used it for years. Some of these things are still around at Linda's house.

Christmas 1951

OK today I'm going WAY back and posting a picture of Ronnie, Kathy and Linda. This was of course taken B.C. (before Cheryl)teehee.

My Aunt Aggie

This is my Aunt Aggie. She was my mom's older sister. Today was her birthday.

The Panel Truck

Dad and the GMC panel truck.

I have fond memories of this old truck. Dad had his welder in the back of this truck so he could take it to the repairs that the farmers needed on their machinery or whatever. Dad also pulled a trailer with it to haul big machinery to his shop. Sometimes we kids would ride with him. There were no seats but the drivers seat so we all would have to stand up holding on to a bar above our heads or there was room for one on the welder, but you still had to hang on to something or you would fall off and it wasn't too comfortable on ones behind. The old truck had been a fish delivery truck in it's previous life. It was a faded old green when dad got it. We loved to play with the little bell that went "ding dong" by stepping on a button on the floor. One day the truck became another color. Dad and Ronnie had painted it this bright orange with a paint sprayer.

Oh how I'd love to go for a bumpy ride in that old truck today.

Maternal Great Grandparents

Another old picture today. This is my maternal great grandparents Joshua and Mary Jane-Davis Showalter and Mary Jane's brother ?, (standing).

Great Grandparent and The Desk Chair

This is an old picture of my great grandparents, Samuel and Mary-Brown Huey. The chair he is sitting in is still in the family, though it is in need of some repairs.
