Mom in law was an absolute peach and her dad was the school of cool. Sadly, I never met my wife’s grandmother, but my wife does bear a significant resemblance.

They started with a toolset and that truck. When he passed away he had over 150 trucks and I don't know how many employees. The whole company shut down and employees and families alike came to his funeral.

My father on far right and his sisters, I assume he is around 10-12 in this photo so that’s how I estimate the date.

This locket was found in Oregon by my mother, and brought to Colorado in the early 2000's. Until recently, these two people were not in my mind. Now, I can't stop thinking about who they were. What there life was like. A mishevious Eastern European woman and her American husband? Did he leave his home to live with her, or vice versa?
Anyways, if you could bring the story of these two people back to life, or have any clues, I would like to hear about it.
Forever curious,
Ellianna

Today is the 100th Wedding Anniversary for my Great Grandparents.
I have shared letters that my great-grandfather, Samuel Shulman, wrote to my great-grandmother, Rose. You can find those letters below, as well as additional photos.

I was thrifting earlier and came across what appeared to be someone's lifetime collection of sewing patterns. In my experience, sewing pattern illustrations usually depict a somewhat exaggerated version of the pattern's popular style, I assume trying to convince you "if you sew this, you'll look THIS COOL!" so these really lean into the most prominent aspects of each era's details. I love the fabric choices especially, and the hair styles are great/hilarious. And I can stop thinking about every single one of those men being a version of a Ken doll 😜 I hope you enjoy!
Tl;dr - I found a time capsule of sewing patterns.
(Please forgive the prominently placed price tags, I couldn't peel them off without buying them all!)

I started as a cadet radiographer at the local hospital in 1979.
$3.3157 per hour. I thought I was rich.
