Hi everyone ~ Today I am learning to use my scanner and upload old photos, and I will post as I get the hang of it. Here is the first effort: September, 1961 Merme's First Day of School with a quilt for nap time made for me by my Aunt Marion. If the sizing isn't correct, please, someone, jump in and help!

Does anyone know why these photos are coming out so much darker than they are in real life? They look okay in Adobe photshop and in Photobucket. In the one of me & Maxi in the snow you should be able to see my face just fine and the red trim of my big hood.

On'ry "Aunt" Missy up in the treehouse with her boys and my baby. Although Missy is actually Maxi's cousin, she is so much older, she was already married with children of her own before he was born, so he calls her Aunt respectfully.

I think these were mislabeled. I think they were his first birthday back at home after our trip to PA because I remember getting him the things in the photos for his birthday that year at Filene's October Sale. Plus, the tree isn't up. bbbbbbbbb "In the midst of winter, I learned there lives in me an invincible summer" Camus (maybe a paraphrase)
