Easter of 1956

Many Easter Blessings to you. Here are some pictures of an Easter back in Chillicothe, Illinois, in 1956. Sherry was almost five and Billy was 2 1/2.

I think this is one of the cutest pictures of our little kids - such wonderful smiles - more than smiles, I think, maybe almost giggles.

These pictures came from one of them together but I used it for calendars I made one year for Christmas for them and for each of the granddaughters. I have the copy of the scan but don't know where the picture is right now. Since they are so cute, I am just putting them side by side. Goodness, they were so dressed up - how about Sherry's hat and her little straw purse. Bill looks cute in his little short pants suit and bow tie. A sweet Piece of the Past. (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.
