Welcome to Sunday All Day Brunch. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. As the person who cleaned out my parent's house I am the one who has all the photographs. I have been busy scanning them into the computer since some of them are decaying fast. So for the next three diaries we will be taking a trip into the past. A time when photos in color were hand tinted.
We will start in the Civil War era. My mother was born a Hughes and her mother was a Hensley. My Dad's mother was a Wiseman and his father a Wilson.
