Born as Early as 1820
From my mother’s hometown of Durand, Illinois.
I think number 3 and 6 are ancestors of mine due to their last names. I see no family resemblance though and I’d best do some more serious research on theh possibility.
But I love this photograph found in my mother’s things.

Old Fashioned Pulley Clothesline from July 2011
A Throwback Thursday post
My friend Joan passed in 2023 but this is her old fashioned pulley clothesline (with a bag to hold the pins). The original post telling of the birthday dinner she made for me – Her clothesline jumped out at me and I thought of sheets hung on the line and how quickly things dry in the summer. The refreshing scent of the sunshine.
The same type of lilies in the 2011 post, the ones I photographed blooming in her garden, are opening up fully in my dining room this week in my birthday flowers bouquet

On my mother’s side.
I realized I posted this photograph five years ago. But they were still looking at me in my living room today

Throwback Thursday. This tiny China box was a gift from a friend in 1981.
Inside I have some old earrings and my HS class ring from 1970.
Don’t open it often but did today.
