I went to a funeral,
Lord it made me happy,
Seeing all those people,
I ain't seen,
Since the last time,
Somebody died,
- Lyle Lovett
I have recently been digitizing old photographs for my parents, and came across this image. I have no idea who the people were or why they were gathered so. I can only guess for a funeral or family reunion maybe. They have all been long since laid in their own graves, but this photo was so intriguing that I just had to share it.

As we have continued to digitize old photographs for our parents, I came across this excellent image of my wife’s Great Grandparents automobiles taken from their front porch during a snowstorm. The picture was taken around 1936 near the North Texas town of Woodson. I not sure about the car on the left, but it looks possibly like a 1932 Ford Model B. The car on the right is a 1936 Ford Model 48. I felt that this image really captures that remote sense of loneliness on a 1930s farm in rural North Texas. A good day to stay inside next to the stove and play dominoes if you ask me!
