Save Family Photos

“Go and stand over there and put your arm around your brother.”

How photographing your children has changed over the years.

We had to be dragged, bribed and persuaded to 'pose' in the old days.

Love the colours of this.

Dad took a birthday photo of me in front of the family radiogram every April 16th for the first 21 years of my life.

Why the radiogram? I've no idea, other than it was a measure to show how much I'd grown over the previous 12 months.

Dad sold hi-fi equipment for much of his working life and I guess our radiogram was cutting edge technology in the 1960s, although it had definitely seen better days by the early 1980s when the final birthday portrait was taken. I wish I still had it now though.

Did you know, it’s family history month?! 📣 🥰

So dig into your photo collections and share some classic memories. Be sure to add

These are bathers during the 1918 Season at Saltair Resort. Pictured are my great-grandpa’s family: Cousin-in-law Ceneith Warnock; sister Ruth Hudson; Uncle Carl Obert; cousin Emma Thomas; cousin-in-law Guy Earl; cousin Florence Earl; and cousin Arthur Warnock.

Last week, I even had the privilege to connect with Arthur and Ceneith’s grandson!

My mom, Tommie Sue Eaves, in 1946 at sweet sixteen in Monroe, Louisiana.

Today I’m visiting with my 93-year-old mother, going through her brittle but beautiful old scrapbooks…and sooooooo appreciating that sparkle of fun loving mischief that still shows itself daily.
