Pieces of the Past: Long Ago Cookout

Long Ago Cookout

The next to the last day of February, 1960, which was Leap Year, found Ray on our patio in Ft. Madison, Iowa, grilling steak for his 34th birthday dinner. Doesn't that always taste extra special when the grilling is done in winter with snow on the ground? Thought this was a good picture for today when they are forecasting horrible weather for so much of the country. It's been an extreme weather year all over.

This picture was also taken in Ft. Madison. We were soooo young. A good picture of Ray. (Click to enlarge)

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
