Lots of questions about the photos on my updated template.

That one on the top is my Paternal Grandparents, on the left. Next to them is a sister of Grandma's who I knew the least of her three sisters, I think that's her husband standing next to her, then my dad's only sibling (who just died a couple years ago), and the sister of grandma who travelled around in a R.V. Maybe this one.

Grandma didn't have much to do with the sister in the middle. I saw her, maybe once, at Grandma's funeral in the early '90s. I didn't remember her at all. Apparently they'd had a falling out? I wish I knew.

Over on the left colum from top the bottom the photos are:

My favorite picture of me.
Little me opening Christmas presents. I must be about 3 or 4 years old.
The four kids in my family, standing next to a grand piano that was in the house we rented when we first moved from our small town to Minneapolis.
Posing with my brothers at the Paternal Grandparent's house.
Doing a spit take with milk while standing next to my little brother.
My older brother and sister.
My little brother and dad when dad had taken the two of us to some resort in central Minnesota.

Over on the right is a picture of my little brother and I plus two of the neighbor kids. The kid's still have parents living in their same houses near my mom's but I don't know what happened to either one of those kids.

I want to start scanning and uploading more of the photos I have laying around in boxes around this cluttered house of mine.

I also need to do a scrapbook for Thing 1, who will be graduating from high school in June of 2008. I'd like to take my time and do it right. I also want to make it a classic styled scrapbook so it doesn't look dated like alot of the scrapbooks that people are currently into are going to look. Simple colors. Straight lines. Maybe some of the old artwork of his I've been saving all this time.
