I do pick up my camera most every day (can't imagine what retirement would be like without
my camera and PC
to play with the pictures) and I get a great deal of enjoyment in working with it.
I'm just posting these here to get them out on the internet. I'll also post them on Ancestory.com. They are pages from a Goodner Family Bible. The book itself was in terrible shape and, after many unsuccessful attempts to find a home for it, I finally disposed of it - but kept these four pages. I got the book from dad (James Ray Willis) and am not even sure which Goodner it belonged to. The first page lists the marriage of Edward Blooming Goodner and Effie Elizabeth Vail and it probably belonged to them. This is not in our own direct line. Edward was the son of Blooming Cruse Goodener and we are descended from him through his daughter Adeline (Addie).
The recent blog posts seem to be updates on the Winnsboro Art Walks so I guess I'll keep it going. This month the theme was Mardi Gras. We weren't going to participate this time but several of the regulars were going to be out of town so we decided to help fill the void and Glynda started sewing and we did some cheap shopping o the internet. My crown costs $3.50 and Glynda's shoes were $6.99 - always of course plus shipping - but even that wasn't too bad. As I explained on the FB post about this pic, it was done with a green background and a green screen program. The computer does a "find and replace" and in this case it's a "find green and replace it with red" so where you see the reddish tones in the costumes you need to use your minds eye to replace that with a bright, shiny green. Fun evening!!
Here's the 4 minute video - starting the the Art Center reception.
Here we are dressing up for fun again. There were a lot of folks on this one including several out-of-towners and the fourteen minute video attached shows you all about it.
I have no idea who this is - but the picture was among the many in Aunt Maudes' photo albums that fit that category. This one, like many, had the name on the back and it's evidently from 1933. Every now and then I pull out one of these out and see if I can find a descendent. I was successful on this one. I sent a digital copy to a grandson after making the contact and the family was very happy. They had not seen the picture before. Yesterday the original went in the mail to them in Lincoln, Nebraska.
