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?

4th July Picnic

This photo is dated July 4, 1927 on the back. Note the flag the little girl holds in the front. This must be the Pape family, and I'm assuming that the tallest one in the back is Robert. He would have been 18 or 19 ? The man on the far left, in the hat, looks like Joshua Laidley. The lady in the hat to the right of Robert looks to be Luella. And because none of the others stand out to me as far as the Pape line goes.... maybe this is a Laidley family photo??? 83 years ago. Amazing.
