Old Pictures

We have been busy cleaning, and sorting at Grandma's house, since her passing last month.  We are finding all sorts of things!  Some of which are pictures from years gone by.  Some are funny, like this one:

On the back it says: "If you have any mice they will leave. Virgil [my great grandpa] dont want me to send this crazy one But here goes.  We wanted to look sober so Cloris yelled out the door at us, and made us laugh. Don't share it to any one."  :)  We all got a nice little snicker out of that photo, didn't we?  It was so worth sharing.

I like this one.  It's Grandpa with his brothers.   It says "Taken July 14th 1957".  Grandpa is the third from the right.  Or the left.  Whichever way you look at it, he's the handsome one in the middle with a watch on his left wrist.

The outcome of this barn does not look good:

And last, but not least, my Great Grandma:
