*laughs* It's not quite a hundred years old...but over half of that. (Eeesh....nothing like outing yourself Fangs!!)
I really do love old family pictures. I have bunches of wonderful ones of my relatives as well, that just make me smile and wish I could tell them how much I love them. Check out my grandparents here, just taking a stroll. http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/.....ilypics084.jpg I don't know exactly when this was taken, but I'm guessing my mom, who is their daughter, was still rather young.

Ssh! I won't tell if you won't!
But that's a wonderful picture of your grandparents. It reminds me a lot of some of the pictures I have of my mother's side of the family, only replace the city street with tobacco or hay fields and teams of horses. (My grandfather was born in 1917, and my grandmother in 1918, to give you some idea of how far back some of these pictures go. My mother was born in 1945.) There are so many stories there, and so I much I want to know, if only I had anyone to ask. My mother knows quite a bit, of course, but she's the youngest of her siblings so there are some gaps in what she knows, too. But just looking at them helps me to feel more of a connection to where I came from.

I sure know what you mean about the connection. And yes...I really wish I had had the interest to ask my grandparents and my parents about the old days and how it was for them when they were alive and available for it. For instance my dad was born in 1916 so he was 13 when the great depression of 1929 hit. Yet he never told me anything about it. I wonder what it was like as a teenager then. So different from my teenage life, that's for sure. You mention the tobacco fields and such? Here is a pic of my dad as a youngster...maybe 8 or so, in Georgia. That's his uncles mule.
