Gramps in potatoes

Here's my grandfather, Robert Pape,
standing in a field of potatoes.
I'm guessing somewhere between 1959- 1960

Christmas 1962

Don't you just love the fireplace? Looks so real! hehehehe 

life sure was different way back when!

The small town scene on top of this fireplace --- 

Mom still assembles and puts it up in her home, it's been there every year, like tradition!

A Sunday Drive ....

Looks like it was a great day for a Sunday Drive.......
but where? and when?


Any ideas on what time frame this could be?
