Wordless Wednesday – Ready for a swim

YEG1930 - John, Mark & John Henry

 

Mark and John Yegerlehner, mid to late 1930s. Their grandfather, John Henry Yegerlehner, sits in the background. The man next to John Henry is likely William O. Yegerlehner (Yegerline), John Henry’s nephew (and Roscoe’s first cousin).

Wordless Wednesday – Cousins

Yegerlehner - 1930s Cousins #2

 

I recently started “crowd-sourcing” my family photographs on Facebook. As my blog has grown, and I have found more extended family members, Facebook has become a great tool. This photograph had all the individuals identified in less that five minutes. I wish all photographs were that easy!

You may recognize some of the names from the World War II letters. This photograph was taken during the mid to late 1930s, likely in Clay County, Indiana.

Wordless Wednesday – Garden

I have to admit, I love taking pictures. I wish I were a better photographer. I love reading my grandmother’s letters about the gardens: her flowers and Mark’s vegetables. We have a small container garden in our backyard. I definitely do not have my grandmother’s green thumb, but here are some of the things we are growing this year.

Wordless Wednesday – Mother’s Favorite Time of the Day

YEG1940s #4

David, late 1940s

I have been scanning some more photographs this week, and I found this great picture of my Dad, a.k.a. David. It reminds me so much of my son while he is sleeping. It is nice to know that I am not the only mom who likes to take pictures of her sleeping baby.
