    Do not know why but videos on AC do not play for me, just an endless circling, a bit of show, more circling. Which is sad. I love looking at black and white photos.

    You are so right about black and white photography... these are some great shots and I really love the soundtrack that you combined them with.... really nice!

    I have a series of black and white photos. I should take them out and show them again. Thanks for yours. BTW I added you to my followers

    Debby, I just loved seeing all the pictures of your family history. I would really love to see a bit of details to filling the names of who I'm looking at and what brought them together and why the traveling. The music was a nice selection. When I wanted to pause on one of the photos the play button covered the photo making it difficult to see. That was disappointing cause your parents looked so beautiful I just wanted to look at it better. I would love to work with you on putting together my family stuff. I have a boat load of story and photos.

    Amen Debby. Just like the romance of old Black and White movies, there is something special about it, that color can not come close to capturing. Great job. Thanks for sharing these precious memories with us.

    Worth a thousand words, so they say, so it is. Soul touching, Debby, as always. Thanks for sharing.
