We have a new baby in the house. We'd just studied American History in the time of the Revolution and Blanche wanted to name the baby for John Paul Jones. Mama didn't want to name him John, so she compromised and named him Paul Edwin. He's such a good baby.
We have a good time with the babies, one for each of us to play with. Blanche and I tend the little boys, and Ethel plays school with Fannie Jane and sometimes Mack when he isn't helping Daddy. Mack loves to use Daddy's tools and can already hammer a straight nail.

I just love the stories told in this blog :)
I do, too, Linda. I look forward to each day's story. I know the photo, I know the principals. I never know what she is going to say.
Sometimes I have to post the photo and come back after I hear the story in my head. I never knew before exactly what was, a muse.
I have so many old photos from the late 1800's and early 1900's of family members, I pretty much know what their everyday lives were as small farmers, but I would love to be able to sit down and talk with them :)
