Thanks to StumbleUpon for sending me here! I do like Penelope for your adoptee and, yes, I feel the same way when looking at those pictures in the antique stores/flea markets. Thank you for sharing this. What an amazing post! Thanks to StumbleUpon for sending me here!

It has always bothered me to see old photographs at antique shops; it was as if these were now people without a home, people dis-inherited after the fact. At one particular shop, I'd finally broken down and was preparing to purchase a large number of these photos (literally every photo I'd found) because I just couldn't bear the thought. Then, my husband spotted me and, bottom line, reason prevailed over emotion. There was no way: I could "take in" everyone's lost ancestors! So, I LOVE your advice!

Brendas last blog post..Internet overdose

I feel the same way about them when I see them, Brenda. I can’t throw away ones in my family with no name (one Mamaw had), even though I have no clue to their identity. Yep. We have to get names on them. Harder to do now that we take so many digital pictures, isn’t it?
