Peeps Unknown

I've been working to digitize photographs as well as slides and negatives I inherited from mom.  Slow going.  Slowly, I've been able to recognize and identify many people from different points in their life.  Sometimes it seems the more you look at them, the more familiar the faces become.

Some remain unidentified, but I like the pictures.  Love the babies!  They're in a digital file cleverly called "People I Can't Identify"


Here are some of them:

Recently I "liked" a page on Facebook called "Old Minneapolis".  Pictures are from all different time periods, and they are so cool.  I'm doing some photo scanning this weekend and here are a few charmers from my own files on various topics:

Just the sort of farm I fantasized living on when I was around ten or so, having listened to mom's stories of living on a farm.

I like this guy for his Brillo Pad bristly beard.  I did not write his name in ink. Tsk.
