When I was over at my mom's recently, I scanned a photo I found of her parents. I met my grandfather but did not know him well and we lived in a different city much of the time while I was growing up. I never met my grandmother as she passed away when my mom was only seven years old. My mom told me that they met eat other through a match maker.

This is the only photo that exists of my dad with his motorcycle. This was taken around 1949 or 1950... I'm not sure.
Behind him here is a gasoline pump.
By leaps and bounds, my favorite photo of my grandpa. It's a crime that my uncle doesn't shoot (photos, not deer) much anymore.
Wayback Machine - 1946

I posted this one a couple of years ago... it felt like a good day to bring it back out.
Mom invites the guy she is dating over for Thanksgiving dinner. Her father seems tolerant, but unimpressed. She later marries that guy.
My dad seems so happy in this photo as he tries to beat her younger cousin to the last helping. But the look on my grandfather's face is just priceless.
Found this photo of me when I was a wee one. I must have fallen down a lot because I always seemed to have bandaids on my knees. Maybe I liked the look. Wanted to start a new trend that never caught on :).
Wayback Machine - "A Very Wayback Christmas, Part 2"
Christmas 1966 - Dad just lounging in the living room.... having a blue Christmas beside the tree.
Years later, my room would be through the door in the very distance. Many years later, I would sneak quietly through this living room, and around that corner late at night... trying desperately not to wake this man.
Scanned some photos of when my parents got married (in 1951). I kind of feel like I shouldn't be looking.

This is my great uncle Melvin Lance's Esso station in Black Mountain, NC. This photo was taken sometime in the 1930s.

Wayback Machine - "A Very Wayback Christmas, Part 2"
Christmas 1970 - my very first. This photo was one of dad's favorites. Miraculously, I did not break that ornament... despite an unhealthy obsession with it.
A couple of weeks ago, mom and I placed that ornament on a memorial tree in dad's honor at a service for those who passed away in 2008.
Wayback Machine - October 6, 1922
My great-great uncles... Ernest, Vernon, and Cary Lyda... on the streets of Jacksonville, Florida.
It was the prohibition years. I bring this up for no reason.. just sayin'.
Way Back Machine - 1966
The ladies from my mom's bowling team arrive at the motel where they were staying for a tournament.
These were an irritation to mom... but I love these accidental double exposures that happened every now and then.
