Pieces of the Past: All Dressed Up

All Dressed Up

These pictures were most likely taken before we went to church and I cannot remember whether it was on Christmas Eve or on a Sunday in the Christmas season. Again, this was in 1961 in Ft. Madison, Iowa. At the time we weren't aware of the fact that our next Christmas would be spent in Topeka, Kansas, where Ray was transferred later in the year. There were two more transfers after that - to Newton, Kansas, and then to the Kansas City area. As one of the Santa Fe wives said - you finally get towels to match your new bathroom and they transfer you again! (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.
