Meet my grandparents “Julcsi Mama” and “Karcsi Papa.” Although I never got to know my grandad as he died the day before I was born, my grandma was the light of my life, my inspiration, my hero and a queen. From the many stories and pictures I have of them, I know they were truly […]
I love this photo of my parents taken on their wedding day, July 30, 1961. My mother had just turned 35 the day before; my father was 39. That is my grandfather with the pipe (1899-1975) and my older brother Jay (1948-2011). I love how classic this photo is, and how simple their wedding was. […]
Long before she ever dreamt of having an adoring husband for 62 years, before she had three beautiful and diverse daughters, before the five loving and silly grandchildren came along, there was ten year old Margie Lee Walters. Her kindness, compassion, dedication and strength has been stamped into the soul of anyone fortunate enough to […]
1960s nostalgic summer memories when our family was all together. My Dad travelled a lot, and this was when we got to enjoy his company when he took us out boating, waterskiing and fishing! This is my big brother, his friend and me with our catch. ~shared by @woodslakememory View on Instagram →
My grandparents back in 1961 or 62, just reading the paper on a Sunday afternoon. I love the mid-century furnishings. Oh, and grandma’s hat. Love it! They got married when grandma was 18 and grandpa was 34; then they proceeded to have 7 children. Grandpa had been in the Army stationed in Panama and went […]

It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel.” ~Don Draper, describing the Kodak Slide Projector. Mom, 1960s. Having been born in Sumatra, Indonesia, my Mom had a natural […]
One of my favorite photos of my mom on the beach in Miami, in 1966. Her name was Joy. She passed away two years ago, but she left many great memories and funny stories. Most of all, she was the strongest woman I’ve ever known, with a heart of gold. She raised three children and […]
“People pass, things decay. All that is left are the memories we make, but moments of our lives disappear as our memories do. Through the power of print work and its known ability to outlive us, we have greater potential to live on, long after our bodies no longer do.” –@sierraodessa, whose work has immensely […]
“And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it’s this: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture.” -Robin Williams My grandmother, Sarah Lincoln LaCour, napping in the back of the boat on one of […]
My Mom on her first bike ride. 1950 in Wyoming, small town America. This photo is from my granddad’s slide collection. Whenever we would all get together over the holidays, part of the family tradition was to gather in the living room for a slide show and share the stories behind the photos. ~shared by […]
