I think today I'm going to dig out a little grill I have in the shop that's still new in the box, hit the store and get a small bag of charcoal, and see if I can't burn a burger and a couple brats. Been awful busy the last couple of days so I'm going to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet at my own home.
Been up at my dad's place since yesterday going though tons of paperwork. He still had items from back in the 40s and I found a picture of my great, great, grandfather taken in 1917. He was with the Iron Brigade during the Civil War, also found some genealogy papers/history about the family he married into. They were doing research and had contacted my grandfather in 1947 for information as well as providing a short historical synopsis.
There are hundreds of family photos dating back to the early 1900s and we'll have to get all those photos transferred to a digital format.
Sounds similar to what I found when I was going through my mother's possessions. Pre-WW2 pictures, birth certificates for my great grandparents, my old school reports. We have transferred the photos into digital format since there weren't that many. Perhaps the most interesting was the poem my father wrote at the end of the war. This was one of the photos of my parents that I like the most.
