Friday Funny....Great Gams!

Nell and Carl Borgreen
circa 1940

There are two funnies here. First is this uber attractive pose of Grandma Nell's. Goodness knows what she was thinking here. The second funny is the quality of this photograph. I asked Uncle Jimmy for some copies of photos he has of the family at the cabin. He was very quick to oblige, but sent me B&W photocopies, instead of nice, clear color copies. Note to self, the next time I go to visit, I need to remember my scanning wand, so I can get good quality scans of all the really neat photos in his collection.

Wedding Wednesday....Happy Anniversary Nell and Carl Borgreen

Nell and Carl Borgreen circa 1935

Nell and Carl Borgreen were married on this day, June 29, 1935, in Great Falls MT. I blogged about their Wedding a few months ago. I don't have any photos from their wedding day, but this one was taken around that time and is a favorite of mine, so I'll use it to illustrate this post. They were married until Carl's untimely death at the age of 59, in 1959 and had 4 children. Grandma passed away in 2000. Happy Anniversary, Grandma and Grandpa.

Motivation Monday...Back in the Saddle Again

It seems like a year ago that I posted about my computer woes. I think it was only March or early April, but I'm feeling dramatic. I've been borrowing my daughter's computer since then. It's been uninspiring, to say the least. I was living off of thumb drives and temporary files. I didn't have my favorite links at my fingertips. If I really want to be dramatic I'll liken it to having to chop wood and haul water from the river. But all silliness aside, my computer is back on and back online and I'm thrilled to bits about it. I dare say I might actually dive into some research soon. Right now I'm just reacquainting myself with all the resources available to me again.
Just for fun, I'll go to my pictures file and click on Borgreen and select a summer photo to commemorate this special day. Would you look at that! Three clicks and Bob's Your Uncle. In the olden days (April and May) I would have had to walk downstairs, barefoot uphill both ways, get the EHD, hook it up to the borrowed laptop and import the photos. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Hug your computer today!
