I'm working on the scanning, LeahdGirl, that part is boring, but I have a

box of family photos, that need to be scanned. Thanks for dropping by.

I hope you post more of these

Picture posts are fun. Especially families.

No, they don't, Totum, this has an inscription on the back in Russian

that I've translated roughly as "Dear Brother and Uncle Paul, from your mother, sister Varya, brother-in-law Igor and nephews, January 25, 1928." and the imprint of the studio in Moscow.  It is precious. I wanted to archive it before time destroys it.

I know what you mean about your grandmother. I don't have any of my father's mother, she wouldn't allow pictures.

They just don't make em like they used to...these old photos are really great.  I tried to get my very conservative grandmother to let me make a copy of my favorite of her:  At about 20 years old sitting on a fence with a No Trespassing sign on it.  She wouldn't let me though.  I wish she hadn't forgotten "young"...

TAPS, I thought you and Lensman might like these old family photos

I've left a note asking him to help me resize it, because I can't figure it out.

Blanche, I wish this one would open up full size.  I love pics like this.
