      Hi Jana,

      I even see my grandsons in my father's face. Makes me teary.

    It is very hard to read but I think the sign says Men, so that would mean Daddy's was even cheaper!

    A great photo! I love photos of family doing everyday things. I need to start taking more of those myself.

      Hi Heather,

      Thanks for stopping by! I've not been as faithful posting on my family history blog as I should.

      I was thrilled to discover this photo on my last visit back home.

      As much as I love digital photography, I wonder if future generations will miss out. I don't print out pictures nearly as much as I should.

      I don't print out photos, either. There are all kinds of photo treasures on my computer, but no one will ever see them. I guess this is impetus to change that! Thanks for the reminder!

      Heather,

      A good reminder for me as well!
