Great-grandfather + chicken

More old photos from my Mom's archive.

This is "Daddy Harris" and obviously a chicken. This image cracks me up- I imagine that this was pretty normal back in the day. You know, to just have chickens roaming your yard. Not sure if they're staring at each other or if they're even aware of each other. Love it.

old photo of the week

This is one of my favorites. This is my Grandaddy with his oldest daughter in downtown Atlanta. I think that this is such a journalistic style - not posing - natural. I would have like to have know what he was like at this age. A Dad of several years - how great would it be too know what they were doing on this day. Shopping? Taking Grandmother somewhere? Did she take this photo? Is she did - she was good.

In memory of my Aunt Sarah, Dad's older sister. This photo comes from like 89-91 some where in there. Happy times as they stood in the driveway off they're parents house.

We went to her funeral today, she had been ill for a good many years and she went to be with the Lord on Thursday. Knowing that my Dad loved her very much I love to see them smiling in this moment.

Pictures from the past

I've been slowly working on my families genealogy. I've always been very interested in family stories, history and specifically old photos. I'd like to post some of the older photos my Mom & Dad have let me scan. So here's a super sweet photo of my grandmother, Mom's Mother. Look at those cheeks!
