I'm with JQ there!!
Crumbs - just noticed - the year of my birth (groan). Think my mother was still sending stuff to the laundry then - Ha!
We have two categories of gifts in our household - photography and fishing. Before you jump to conclusions - that's for both of us!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

If you want to find something - ask a photographer or camerman!

Great, Ron! The year I was born! I remember my grandmother had one of these and I used to love putting the clothes through the ringer! Wonderfully nostalgic.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
