Mr and Mrs George Heinrich
From an vintage photo album found in a thrift store in LaPine Oregon, is this lovely photo of a couple. It is labeled Mr. and Mrs. George Heinrich, Grandma Kirk’s Sister.

I don’t know if they exist anymore, but I dimly remember there being a large line of ceramic or plastic miniatures to make [...]
Easter Sunday – 1955
Every time I look at this first photo of four women dressed for Easter Sunday, the lady on the far left reminds me of Nathan Lane in The Birdcage.

After the service, it looks like the photographer said “Wave hello to the came [...]
