It seems most families own a cam era or two and if there are children in the family then they use them a lot A new baby helps the film companies show a profit. My children often get dupli cates and this way I accumulate many photos. Some day this wint er I am definitely going to put them in an album. The camel-back trunk is full of pictures that bring back memories of years past. As the children grew up, we began to send their pictures as Christmas cards. Therefore, I have almost 30 years of cards starting with our first baby girl and ending with the six children in a group after her wedding. It is a pleasure to share these pictures with new family members. Recently I came across a copy of an old picture. It was taken in the 1880 s and shows my grand father and his brothers, sisters and parents standing in front of their Phlc Builders Inc, Pottstown, PA (215) 323-4070 Address | City I County. I Phone- (Includ* araa code) I stone farmhouse. My husband has a picture taken in the same period, which shows his extended family in a field in front of their farm buildings. The men are standing in a Conestoga wagon and a young boy is off to one side holding a favorite white horse. I don’t need to go back to the 1800 s to appreciate old pictures. Even those of my youth are inter esting as they show our family in a row boat on the river that flows by our meadow. Another shows me and my shepherd dog, Rover, and my doll, Anna Louise. There is also one of my Grandmother Landis in a big sunbonnet holding me when I was a baby. The trick is to keep all of these pictures in order so that you can find the one that you want. I do have big envelopes for each year with our children’s pictures in them. This way I can send them photos of themselves when their children reach the same age. This is fun for me and for them.
