Old Family Photos

My aunt Delores recently had me scan and order some old family pictures for her for a frame she was putting up in their new house. Here are those pictures:


She gave these to me so long ago, that I hope she hasn’t forgotten about them. Hopefully I’ll be able to get her prints to her very, very soon.

Believe it or not, this actually catches me up with Random Wednesdays! Now I just need to catch back up on Slice of Life Thursdays and Personal Photo Project Fridays! Look for that to be accomplished sometime in 2014.

Sorrow and Gladness - 2012
Sorrow and Gladness – 2012

My annual trip to the State Center Rose Garden was kind of bittersweet. I went earlier than normal because of how early flowers have been blooming this year. As it turns out, I probably went too early and it was definitely too windy to get as many great pictures as last year.

Another bittersweet aspect of this trip is that I normally make this trip with my Mom. However, this year I made this trip on the way to bring her home from the hospital. We’ll make this trip again together next year.

I was a little disappointed to find out the the State Center Rose Garden wasn’t on Foursquare, but I have since remedied that situation. You’re welcome America!
