    While cleaning up a mess in the basement recently, I found a box of photos I had lost track of for quite a while. I was even a little afraid the photos may have been accidentally tosses with the trash a while back, but no! They were not! And I am so happy about that. Read.

    My Mom told me this is a photo of her and Dad before they were married. They’re on a date. So this is a photo of what they did when they were on a date together, because this is Wisconsin in the 1950s. My mom, holding a dead rabbit, while my dad looks on. I’ve Read.
