Vote on Your Favorite Vintage Photo
I have been posting these amazing photos from my grandmother’s collection. I have been transcribing and writing about her diary for over a year but I only found the photos to go with all of those diary passages a couple of weeks ago. I am obsessed! This will be more fun the more people I…
The Set Up: Vote for your favorite vintage photo

What I learned from the April A to Z Challenge
If I don’t write it out, I wont know it. That’s not something I learned from this challenge. That’s something I learned either from writing or from my life. After anything worthy I like to write a reflection because if I learned something from an activity, I might not have really learned it unless I…
Zosh – Updated
Have you noticed that there haven’t been that many pictures of Zosh? How come, if she was the best friend, (and she really was, their whole life.) Well, the reason is, I needed something or Z! I have updated one post about her, although I should probably update a few more. Because some posts are…
You Must Wait (reblogged)
The end of the month of the A to Z Challenge gets a little tougher. I don’t think it has anything to do with stamina, just letters which are a little more difficult to come up wih something for. I was search old posts for something else today and I decided i would reblog this…
X: Things I do not do
The things I do not do: (Cross them out with an X!) I do not leave things on the floor. I try not to remind her that she has moved past the years when she can pick up things from the floor herself. How demoralizing that must feel. I do not let her in on…
Why I do this
“Lest you forget.” That is what Nat writes on her senior photo that she gives to Babu. Unfortunately, this process doesn’t bring back too many memories for Babu. Mostly what comes up when we read or look at photos are the same stories. And even those she is starting to loose or they are starting…
Vi at the Office
I’m not going to lie, some of the end of the alphabet gets hard. I chose to write about Vi, a girl who works with Babu at the office, because, well, it fits, and because I am always drawn to the background characters. Sometimes they become more important and maybe Vi will. Babu writes: Monday,…
Update
I couldn’t believe it. I was looking at pictures from 1936, 37, 38, and I kept saying “I remember this day!” And the clearly organized notes on the back of most of the images verified it was true. I had read about, transcribed, and wrote about the days these images captured, in some ways better…
