My grandmother gives everything away. I mean everything: her beautiful clothing she owned when she was young, the family record player, and my grandfather's beautiful 1920s functional (gasp) typewriter. One could say she has a zeal for it. Her philosophy seems to be "out with the old and in with the new" and she disdains my strange fascination with relics and clothing from the past. Therefore, I was quite surprised when on last Christmas Eve I discovered she kept all of the old family photos, even the ones of my grandfather's family in the 1920s. Here are a few of the ones I got decent pictures of.

| My grandparents' wedding photo circa the early 1960s. They made and continue to make a good couple. |
 |
| My grandfather's class photograph from elementary school circa the mid to late 1930s. |

| My grandmother's friend on a trip to some distant foreign land. C. 1960s. |
Mostly I am doing this post because I am visiting them at their home in the country this week. Hurrah!
