Welcome to Thursday Coffee Hour. 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 join us as we continue our trip into the past. A time when photos in color were hand tinted.
We are now entering the early 1900s. My grandfather Wilson worked with cars all his life.
