Count your blessings where you can, and never forget what your mom said -- If you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all.

Big bumps Dog - have a super evening with your wimmins.

Come visit when you can.

Regards.

When I started to turn grey Uncle Ed and I looked almost like brothers. He was a little taller and heavier than I was, but we sure looked a lot alike....I never looked like anybody on my Dad's side of the family, including him..lol

She had learned English good except for the word 'yes' It was always 'Ja' or 'yah'......
Granpa died not to long after those pics were taken and she didn't have a easy time after that..

Oh that is sad .. My grandmother's father died when she was young and she had to quit school in the second grade to work in the mills to bring home money to help feed her younger siblings ..

For someone who only had a 2nd grade education, Mama O'Donnell was a pretty smart lady

Now theres another great pic, Mo

I have to get a scanner so I can post some pictures...I would love to post the one of my great grandparents, sitting down, surrounded in the back, by 12 of their children that lived into adulthood...great grammie had some babies die in infancy, and a few miscarriages, so we figure she must have been pregnant at least 20 times...

Raised all those kids, buried some, buried both of her husbands, and still lived to be in her 90s, and be in relatively good health...she was a real sweetie...I would just love to have her up on the internet, she would have gotten a kick out of that...

Yep - you and I are the slug-a-bed, ner're do'wells here with the scanning and posting program.

With all the pics that your dad took, you must have a gazillion or more to post.

Tell Andy to get you set up and trained for this new venture...if Westy and Gran can do it, so can you.

I'm not all that sure about me.

You really should get a scanner .. it took me a few years to finally get around to getting one and I'm glad I did. I'm able to scan alot of photo's like my dad's old army pictures and the kids and burn them onto a CD .. the ones of the girls, I burned to a CD I have sent to my inlaws and they just love it ..

You have got that so right about me...I am the the slug-a-bed, ne're do'well supreme....

I have boxes upon boxes upon boxes of pics....they are all safe and sound, all packed together...but you are right, I need to do something about this scanner and posting problem that I am having...

I will be seeing Andy over Fathers Day weekend, and will have a long and serious talk with him...

I am going to tell him what I want to do, he knows what equiptment I already have(since he bought it all)so he will know just what I need...

And then I shall have to drag him down here to the 'boonies', so he can train me...

They had came over from Germany and somehow ended up in Montana trying to homestead a farm...Even today that part of Montana is more ranching than farming....My Mom was born on the homestead...They didn't make it farming so moved into town and ran a boarding house...The town was mostly Irish and my Mom had a hard time as she only spoke German...lol...Forgot every last word of German she ever knew...There is/was a Catholic Church in town with a cemetary...Of course a Lutheran couldn't be buried there, so the few Protestants were buried way outside of town. In that cemetary the plots are keep up by family...With nobody in the area when I went looking for Granpa's grave it was a stomp around thru knee high weeds...Found it though...
That house in the pics was the back door of the boarding house...It was still standing the last time was over there.....

......Westy.....

OK - you and I have got to get with the program here. Andy can help you and I'll try and get Christine, or someone to give me some clues.

Let's do it...we can always ask Valerie to help us clean them up.
