I have been looking through old photo albums. This week I was looking through an album that was my Grandmother's. She was a great picture taker. And always recorded dates, names and all kinds of info. on the back of her pictures.
This is a picture of a house that was in my family for almost 100 yrs. This was taken in 1918. It originally belonged to my Great Grandparents, then my Grandparents lived there, and when I was first married I even lived there for 5 years. Unfortunately when my grandmother died, we had to sell this house (along with over 7 acres of land.) My family has a lot of memories of this place, it is bittersweet for me to think about it.
Very cool. I love old photos.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what a gorgeous home!!! Wow!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI bet you had wonderful memories there!!!
Oh, I am so sorry this home had to leave your family. I can imagine that the memories would be bittersweet, truly. It is very pretty, however, and I appreciate you sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteOh Sue, this pic is really a precious! You shld keep it properly for the next generations!
ReplyDeleteWow Sue that is one awesome Photo Flashback!
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge house! Sorry it had to leave the family, but at least you have this great picture and wonderful stories to pass on to your children.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that that house was in the family so long, and that you have a picture to remember it by!

That's too bad that you had to sell your home. Thaks for sharing your beautiful photo. I love old photos.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous place. I know what you mean about bittersweet. Our family tends to hang onto things too long and then they become a burden. Sometimes it is better to let them go while the memories are all still good.
ReplyDeleteStopping in from SITS! Wow, your grandmother was extremely organized with her pictures! I wish my older family was as organized. My great grandmother can never remember who is in her pictures anymore, let alone where or when they were taken.
