A favorite photograph of my Grandaunt Grace Osborne Flucawa, includes a neighbor girl named Mary Ann Buskel. The photo dates from 1928, they appear to be having a good time dancing on a park bench.

Sisters
This week I highlight my maternal-maternal great-grandmothers’ sisters: Sarah, Emma, Alma, Vada and Maggie Rumple.
Another Favorite Photo
I looked through my box of old family photos to find a previously not scanned photograph worthy of being a favorite photo. At the very bottom of the box, I discovered a large photography studio folder with a charming image inside that is now a favorite photo.
Holidays
I made a holiday photo collage and labeled each with a letter. I asked my family to match the holiday photo to the years I provided.
Homemade
My father really enjoyed making things: wood, metal, textiles, and electronics. This week I share a few of his homemade projects. Many of these homemade items are still in use, or on display, yet today.
Sports
My mother participated in a competitive, team sport called Sheep to Shawl. It’s not the usual sports event. A sheep is sheared, the fleece is carded and spun into yarn, the yarn is then woven into fabric, and finally, the fabric is fashioned as a shawl.
Steps
This week I share some favorite family photos that include steps, stoops and stairs.
Character
My great Aunt Grace looked for the positive even when life was a challenge. Aunt Grace was a character with character.
Fashion
I wonder about fashion choices in old family photos. A favorite outfit, a reflection of the era, a fashion statement? Here are those I find charming, amusing or unique.
Groups
Among my old photos are several groups of schoolchildren. I am sharing these group photos in an attempt to connect with descendants of the children.
