Oldies but goodies

My brother got a new computer and scanner recently and has been scanning in some old family photos.

Here are the two of us sometime in the early 1950's. Heavens, what boney knees!
Here's one of my early birthdays. I'll be celebrating another one with a whole lot more candles tomorrow.
This one taken when we lived at our grandmother's farm in Pleasant Garden shows that we really did get a real snowfall back in olden days.

My brother says I should use this one for my official picture for any future political campaigns.


My dad at age 21 with his 1940 Ford. (Guess we know now where my bony knees came from.

Cooking brunswick stew at Bethlehem Methodist Church, their traditional fall fundraiser. That's my grandmother standing against the pole in the center.

Happy Birthday, Sandy!

Is that downtown Greensboro in the background of the first picture?

Thanks to all for the happy birthday greetings!

Roch,
Although I believe the first photo was taken downtown at Sears(where Guilford County Mental Health is now), that is a fake cardboard background. If it had been the real thing, don't you know that as old as I am, the buildings would have been log cabins. {smile}
