  • Family Farm from Long Ago

    Sparta, WI, Month and Year unknown In 2024, John and I visited Helen. Helen has pictures of the family farm from before I was around. What I love is that the railroad tracks are still in the picture. In the second picture, you can see the rows of trees that line the driveway. The trees…

    September 2025 I have been having fun visiting the family and hanging out. When I was backing up Mom and Dad’s photos, I thought it would be fun to create a blog with some family photos. I believe the photos were taken in 2010 based on the file or folder name. I’m not sure if…

    Okmulgee, OK, January 2025 So, John’s mom did not really throw away anything related to the family. We ran across this letter in an old file folder. It is from John’s aunt to his mom. We are guessing that this written when his aunt was very young, but there is no date written on it.…
