My amaryllis finally bloomed...last week! Yay!
...like this. Oh, well. It's pretty, anyway, and makes me smile.
Sunday, I sorted old photos, and spent trying to identify anyone I would have known, and putting names on the backs of the photos.
The only one I recognize, in this photo, is my grandfather. He's on the front row, seventh from the left, and wearing a white scarf.
I'm guessing this might have been a church outing.
That's my granddaddy, again, in the old car. He's on the left...trying to look important. :)
I keep singing the song from Little Orphan Annie...the sun will come out tomorrow...
Take care and stay warm. I'm back to work on genealogy.

Hi, Babs. I've been doing a lot of random things, too. Genealogy hasn't been one of them but something I could do, as well. Our old photos are pretty well labeled now, thanks to my mom and my cousin. So glad you found your birds, I'm envisioning a lovely spring vignette soon! Sometimes we need to slow down and do those little things that we seldom have time to do the rest of the year.
I knew right away that you must be in Georiga--possibly metro Atlanta because your outside photo could of been taken outside my house. We have been dreary like this for too many days! Can't wait for the sunshine to come back.
Geneology is always so fascinating to me. I love those old pictures you came across! Yes, the sun has been in hiding way too long. I'm getting anxious for some sunshine. I hear it may visit us this weekend though. Your amaryllis is pretty. I've heard other people find theirs blooming a different color than expected too.
Babs, your Amaryllis is gorgeous! I've been waiting for the sun right along with you!!
hugs,
Linda
Babs, your "black and white" photo is about how it looks here, too...very depressing. We have only been getting sunshine about 1 in 10 days. At least we are slowly warming up, to be in the low 50°'s by the weekend.
Enjoyed all your photos...love the fashions of yesteryear.
Have a wonderful week.
The amaryllis is beautiful! I love the photo of your grandfather in the old car.
Stay warm and the sun will come out tomorrow or someday soon
Love your amaryllis...looks like they got the labels mixed up...but the red is so very pretty!...so great that you are spending the time to work on your family genealogy .. those are really great pictures!
Beautiful too! Mine have yet to bloom. I waited so long to get them planted that they are likely never going to bloom. Totally my fault.
Thanks for sharing, Babs.
Babs,
Your grandfather was a handsome lad, dear friend!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I adore your bird figurine!!!
Your husband's throw looks mighty inviting!!!
Sending you some of our glorious sunshine and warm temps. . .we're in the low 50's today!!!
Fondly,
Pat
You are so lucky to have such great family photos, my sister and I are working on our family as well. We've kinda hit a wall, but are still trying.
Stay warm!
Hugs,

Hi Babs, I liked your bit of randomness. My Amaryllis just finished blooming. I think we planted them at the same time. I remember you showing yours and me thinking that I had bought a red and white one also. Mine was red and white and gorgeous! Yours is beautiful, and while it was slower; you are enjoying yours after mine is long gone. It has actually warmed up and been quite nice here the last few days. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Love the Amaryllis. So neat that you are working on you genealogy. Love the photos too!
