I try to get pictures of visitors, and it's not necessarily a line-up when they leave, but sometimes it's the only opportunity. I sure like that picture, as it shows the dress trends of the time and the automobile. Great stuff from the 40's.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497292872289897109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-514646444021726592014-01-15T09:09:32.385-07:002014-01-15T09:09:32.385-07:00Wonderful post - I just love family stories, even ...Wonderful post - I just love family stories, even when it's not my own family. Maybe it's that reason I pursued that history degree in college. <br /><br />I have a lot of old photos like this too - and some "not so old" ones. They are definitely treasures that I've been scanning and sharing with other relatives as we find them. My favorite one is the only photo we have of my maternal grandparents in the same picture. They are lined up kind of like this with the 4 oldest kids - taken some time in the early 1930s.<br /><br />That probably was a very long trip back and forth in those days, especially through the Black Hills area. I know the trip from Minnesota to Kansas to see my grandparents in the 1950s was sure a long dusty trip in our old Chevy. So I can only imagine what it would have been like 10, 20 or 30 years earlier.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412341664506380343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-37162688044829869582014-01-15T07:46:54.310-07:002014-01-15T07:46:54.310-07:00I do remember my folks doing that now that you men...I do remember my folks doing that now that you mention it but I never have.

It's not usually a "good-bye" photo, but is taken when everyone is dressed nicely enough to agree to have their picture taken--like when we're going to church or going out to dinner.
