I got a little melancholy when I began scanning yesterday. This is my grandmother, Ida May Burton Cannon, perhaps 1915. |

This is their son, my father -- Collins Burton Cannon. Their family lived in Logan in the 1920s. I'm loving his outfit. And the slice of watermelon. |

But I did scan in this totally adorable picture of William. He is the child who christened me Dewey when he tried to say Julie. |

And here is a picture of my Cannon grandparents, perhaps in the 1950s. The shelf on the wall now hangs in my house. |

I, too, have a family, although they didn't pose quite as nicely. The occasion was Dave's 13th birthday. |

This is one of my favorite memories! These ducks hatched one day after Cori got home from kindergarten. She and I had a really fun time helping them get from the planter near our house to the gate. |

This duckling fell in our pool, and Corinne rescued it and helped him rejoin his family. |

Corinne has always been an animal lover. She loved Lester, and by golly, he was the best cat ever. He let her drag him around all day long and then he'd sit on her lap in the evenings. |

Applesauce was a good cat, too. |

I believe I have mentioned before that Corinne was the cutest child ever. |

And she grew up to be pretty cute, too. Another copy of this picture is on permanent display in my living room. |

Is this a hoot of a picture? Jeffy on the left -- Sammy on the right. |

I scanned in a lot of pictures of Dave today. He was a beautiful child, too. He probably doesn't want to hear that today, but it's true. |

My laugh of the day came when I read the caption which explained that on Christmas Day, 1988, Dave played with Ben's present. Like anyone would even recognize that contraption as a movie camera. |

Of course, Dave grew up to be very handsome, like all the men in our family, including my grandfather. |

And now we are back to Will, the great-great grandson of the woman at the top of this post. |
