Today, I received the last tangible gift from my dad that I will ever have...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

His camera.

On it I discovered some 13 pictures, probably the only ones he ever took with it...

I thought you might like to see some of them.

A tree in their yard:


Morris, the cat:


Chris, the Labrador retriever:


Their new vehicle:

1. Wow, what a wonderful thing!

Especially if it was unexpected, that you didn't realize there were unexposed frames or images in the camera.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thank you so much, my dear NYC_SKP!

The pictures were completely unexpected!

I was really hoping for some, and these went beyond my wildest hopes.

19. Cool! My grandmother once pulled an old "brownie" camera out of a storage box and found film in it.

It had been in the box probably for 40 years. They were able to develop the film and it had all kinds of pictures from her local town back in the day-- Model T's parked on the street and stuff.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. How very cool, my dear Gidney N Cloyd!

What a find!

These are a lot more recent. I think some date back to 2011.

21. Thanks for sharing these Peggy!...

They must have brought with them a flood of emotions! I'm glad you got this last opportunity to share his memory.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Oh, they sure did, my dear Locut0s!

Knowing that this was his camera, that he used it around their home...

Unreal.

I'm glad too, and thank you...
