Old Photographs

Here are some images that I scanned that belong to my grandmother (my mom's mother). They are of my grandfather, who is no longer with us, and one of my grandmother. I had to scan all these images and really do a lot retouching because of the condition that they are in. Only one or two of them have dates on them. I hope to be going through some more photographs that my mom and grandmother have when I am home next weekend.

Silver wings shinning in the sunlight,
roaring engines headed somewhere in flight.
Their taking you away, leaving me lonely,
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Don't leave me I cry, don't take that airplane ride.
But you locked me out of your mind.
Left me standing here behind.
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
Their taking you away, leaving me lonely.
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight,
Their taking you away. Leaving me lonely.
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Slowly fading out of sight.
