A Journey Back In Time

This weekend we had a wonderful visit with some cousins of ours, Dick & Mitzi. They came in to town for dinner and we had a chance to catch up and reminisce about old times. We were able to sit down and sort through a couple boxes of old family pictures. Dick and Mitzi were able to help us put names with the faces in the pictures. It helped us tremendously and we really appreciated it! We feel so fortunate to have these old family photos and we are glad to have someone able to help us sort through them. We learned some interesting things and heard some great family stories. We now know the difference between the black Scheids and the red Scheids! We came across some old postcards from the World Fairs Century In Progress Exposition that took place in Chicgao in the early 1930's. Mitzi shared a wonderful story about someone she knew going to the fair with her two younger siblings. They traveled to Chicago by train, stayed at a hotel for five days, ate, and went to the fair all for $12.00. What a true example of just how much things have changed through the years!
