I love old vintage photos, and let me just say….these are vintage. Pictured are Mom and me at a petting zoo near Lexington, Virginia.
Have a wonderful weekend!

My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.

I do, too! I could sit and look at old family albums for hours.

I miss actual albums now… We have iPads, phones, computers and hard drives, but it’s not like really having the photo in your hand!

I agree with you. It’s kind of like reading an actual book versus reading it on a Kindle, etc. I prefer to hold a book in my hands and turn the pages. There’s something about the smell of a book, too. It may have to do with engaging all of the senses.

I totally agree Tonya, though I have converted to kindle, purely because I was given one, and it is easier… And cheaper! But i Do miss books!

I have a Kindle that I received as a gift, too. And, it’s awesome when traveling. It’s definitely a bonus not to have to lug around a bunch of books. 🙂

Your mom looks like a Cover Girl! I’m guessing 1970’s vintage?

Wow! That’s so kind. Your comment will surely make her day! Yes, probably somewhere around 1975.
