Old Letters and Pictures

 I know I've talked about all the old letters I have from the 1920's that were written to grandpa. I thought I'd show exactly how many there really are.
 I separated them by person and as you can see their are at least 26 bunches. One has holiday cards and other mis. things. One bunch is just single letters from different people. (mostly women)
 These are the old pictures I have. I've divided them into different groups also.  Most of the pictures I'm not sure who is in them.
 This picture I think might be from Sweden. At the bottom it says: Lofva Herren min sjall ( there should be two dots above the a. I'm not sure how to put them in.) I think the picture might be from the 1890's. If I can scan it sometime I'll put a better picture of it on here.
 
 This is one of many old pictures. I'll scan it in better next time.

     
This is an award my grandma got in 1921.

     

I've also got my grandpa diploma from 1913. It's a common school diploma.It's a little on the large side so I don't know if I can scan it. Right now it's all curled up.
I've even got a picture of someone famous. But before you get to excited it's just a print someone put in a frame.

Well I just wanted to warn you that from time to time I will reach into the basket and print one of the letters or show a few pictures. Maybe someday I'll find people who know who is in a picture or who wrote some of the the letters. 

So till next time keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

Image
The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
