After looking at all those old photos in my cedar chest, I just had to scan some of them for safekeeping. Actually, I put my husband to work doing the scanning while I kept sorting through all those old memorabilia.

| My parents' wedding |
I love that group photo from my parent's wedding, Mom looking so terribly young, Pop (my maternal grandfather) standing next to her, then Dad looking much too young to get married, then Grandma (his mother) standing next to him. Grandpa Will (his father) had passed away a few years before. That's my Nana (my maternal grandma) in the wheelchair. She was paralyzed at 16 from polio, so I only knew her as "my Nana in a wheelchair." I thought she was cool. I could sit on her lap and she could wheel me all over the place. She even let me play in her wheelchair when she was taking a nap.
I look a lot like my Nana and my Auntie B. I got my strawberry blond hair from them and from my Dad. My blue-green eyes I got from my Dad. Oh yeah, I guess I got my temper from my Dad too. Anyway, so many memories, all packed up in that cedar chest just waiting for me to take them back out again.
