Reminiscing

I have been at my mother's house trying to collect some pictures and memorabilia to go in a shadowbox. At the top of the box is a triangular shape filled with the flag they had over my father's coffin during the funeral. I was hoping to find an old army photo which my mom remembers seeing, but which has yet to turn up.

Meanwhile, a cousin lost all her pictures in a house fire a couple years ago (before mine/infamous California fires) so others in my extended family have been trying to collect old photos of the cousin's mother, etc. Mom gave me several photos to scan from her family.

A couple are priceless, but perhaps boring to some so they are ( behind the cut )
