Cabin Memories

I've written about The Cabin before. We just enjoyed a lovely weekend there. We spent time with Uncle Johnny, Aunt Julie, my brother Carl and his wife, Heather and daughter Emily and cousin Molly with her children, Grace and Logan. It was great weather, though a bit hot. We hiked, ate, talked, played in the creek and slept like babies. It all passed too quickly. Every time I go to the cabin, I'm reminded of the generations who were there before me. Recently, Mom brought some old photos for me to scan and many of them were taken at the cabin. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

Rare photos

                                   Ruth, Elvira, Ebba, and Carl Borgreen age 5 or 6 Borgreen home
Spent last weekend scanning a bunch of photos that Mom brought over to share. Some I'd seen and had copies of, but many were new to me. Many showed relatives who I'd never seen before. I was very excited to get this photo of some of the Borgreen siblings. I had no pictures of Ruth or Ebba. This photo dates to about 1912 and was taken in Great Falls MT.
