Old Leather Photo Album

Remember first seeing this in the bottom drawer of the blanket chest in Carragana. I keep it on the top shelf of my closet now. Many of the pictures that you see in this blog come from this album. The reason I did this blog is to put down in writing for our and my siblings grandkids for the future, they're too young for it now, but sometime!
