These three slides were together in a small plastic bag in my recent estate lot purchase. There was a little information: January 1969–Mexico.
I am assuming the two couples traveled together to Mexico. (Probably to escape the cold weather here in Michigan).
As I mentioned before, the couples in the images traveled a lot. I am excited to see all their destinations.
Until next time…peace
I pulled this image off a slide which was part of an estate sale. If I researched correctly, I believe this is The Montreal Expo.
The slide does have a date of October 1967.
What do you think?

Did you celebrate Earth Day? I was happy to spend time outdoors. I cleaned up the yard a little, took some photos, and planned where to put my flower gardens.
I hope you managed to get outdoors today.
Happy Earth Day! Let’s work together for the sake of our planet.
Until next time…peace
As a farmer’s daughter, I cannot imagine working the fields with horses and hand tools. But I know that was the reality of farm work before tractors and other equipment were invented.
The photo shows two men clearing weeds or harvesting plants. I am not sure what they are holding. There is another gentleman in the background. He seems to be leading the team of horses.
I do not have any data on the photo.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
The photo of three women has information on the back. I love when I find photos with a little information. First the photo has a date: July 1940.
Next, the image has names: Hilda Shoberg, Rosilia Shoberg, and Ellen Shoberg Dablin. Then at the bottom of the photo reads: Rosilia & Ellen first cousins.
I wonder if the ladies were just visiting. Or if they were attending a wedding or family reunion.
What do you think?

These photos are from an estate lot. I do not know if this was a school project or part of the curriculum. The farm display is definitely a teaching point. There are posters on the black board to go along with the exhibit.
I am assuming the photo is from the early 1950s. However I do not have any information to confirm the date or the location of the photo.
What do you see?
Until next time…peace
Happy Friday, everyone! Here are a few photos from a recent estate lot purchase. I do not have any names or dates with these photographs.
I personally find these pictures amusing. The photographs are definitely taken in New York City at Rockefeller Center.
I just returned from a New York trip. I was one of those crazy people who stood out in the rain to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I recognize every place these photos were taken.
The gorgeous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. I wonder what color those bulbs were?
The Rink at Rockefeller Center. It always looks bigger in the photos. But I still enjoyed watching the people when I was there.
The beautiful St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
I am guessing these photos are from the late 1950s or early 60s. What do you think?
Have you been to NYC?
Until next time…peace
Happy New Year! Our first day of 2025 has been cold and a little snowy here in Mid-Michigan. On my way into town this morning, I snapped some photos. Of course, I didn’t have the right lens with me. But I still managed. We had Canadian Geese down at the Maple River.
And, then I had a flock of Turkeys fly right in front of my vehicle. I am glad I was on a back road and going slow.
Thank you for following this blog. I have been busy purchasing estate lots. I cannot wait to share some of my findings with you. I just need to organize them first.
Take care!
Until next time…peace

Well, I assume the dog belongs to the lady. I really do not know. But, I like to think they were posing together on Christmas Day.
Based on the photo type and her clothing style, I am guessing this photo is from the early 1950s.
I believe, my grandfather had a desk like the one the Christmas tree is on. So, I am also using that as a basis for the date.
What do you see when you look at the photo?
Until next time…peace
I believe the photo is from the early 1970s. I am basing my guess on the style of the image, the coloring, and the clothes. I do not have any other information on the photo.
I would really like to know what the object is on the right. The one behind the girl with the dress and beside the Christmas tree. I enlarged the image. But I still cannot tell. Does anyone have any guesses?
Until next time…peace
