I too have a old photo of my Dad as a little boy with several of his younger brothers and sisters all of them sitting on a step, and my dad holding a baby sister. I love that picture. But it makes me a little sad, he looked as though the wait of the world was on his young shoulders. He grew up without material wealth also. It was a hard life. We have so much to be thankful for today. So much we take for granted. <br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Blessings<br />Sheilaaddie373https://www.blogger.com/profile/03217710750701420731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-75884655478222478132010-04-26T22:33:53.472-07:002010-04-26T22:33:53.472-07:00~and family is all that really matters~ Beautiful...~and family is all that really matters~ Beautiful Photo!Carrie @ Cottage Cozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17722924566006835290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-4931556159004587632010-04-26T19:03:53.912-07:002010-04-26T19:03:53.912-07:00They were always happy no matter what.

My Daddy grew up on a farm and had to<br />quit school in the 7th grade to help on the farm. My Mom's dad was<br />educated and taught school so she<br />grew up in nice houses and had a <br />better life. I have a sling shot<br />that Daddy made when he was a small boy. Daddy was born in 1914.<br />I don't have any pictures of him as<br />a child. I love your family picture. I have several of my mom<br />with her friends. My sister looks <br />just like her in her childhood pictures. It's hard to tell them apart. I also have mom's autograph<br />book from school and she talks about the T-model car they went so<br />fast in and her friend got her bloomers caught on the seat. It is<br />so entertaining to read her old books. It gives you an insight of<br />what she did as a kid. Mom was born in 1913. Both are gone now and<br />I love to look at the old pictures and read her schools books and papers. :O)Elsienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-75116593191337119822010-04-26T16:21:38.729-07:002010-04-26T16:21:38.729-07:00Very cool picture and story, Becky!

They didn't have much but they had each other. They are wonderful memories for her.<br /><br />We sure are spoiled and our kids are even more spoiled. <br /><br />DebbiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-45535493207427403802010-04-26T06:47:30.506-07:002010-04-26T06:47:30.506-07:00Becky,

You look like you were a blondie and I love your braids! My Mom always had my hair very short,I always wanted braids. <br />Yes in deed "Love is all we need" is so true and remember hardly never watching tv, as kids we would stay out side and play until Mom called us in for dinner. Good times for sure. <br />Have a great day, Love ya, ElizabethElizabeth and Gary https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849231608931954395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-39303871372731593622010-04-25T20:55:52.398-07:002010-04-25T20:55:52.398-07:00Such a sweet photo...sometimes I yearn for those s...Such a sweet photo...sometimes I yearn for those simpler times.

We played outside and rode our second hand bikes and played dress up. It would have never occcurred to me to think I needed the latest of everything. It just wasn't an option. I spent long hours in the garden weeding and hot hours in the kitchen canning it with my mom and grandmother. It gave me a great work ethic and made me a strong person who has been able to handle adversity in many situations. Being poor isn't an excuse for crime. It isn't an excuse for poor moral character. It isn't an excuse for drug use or becoming a pusher. I was poor and I was none of those things. Maybe the adversity wwe are seeing now in the U.S. will help shape us all into stronger people.Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-78454580773613998392010-04-25T13:05:20.945-07:002010-04-25T13:05:20.945-07:00What a lovely post.
