the Attic

The kids were getting bored outside, so they asked if they could go in the house....
Picture
Nyssa wanted to go up and explore the attic.....
Picture
Holly wasn't so sure she liked it up there...
Picture
Picture
"Oh, don't be scared!  We come up here all the time!"
Picture
Picture
Picture
       Eric noticed the rocking horse....                                        
Picture
Picture
 "That's a really nice looking rocking horse..."
Picture
"It's mine.  I'd wondered where it had gone..."
Picture
Picture
Eric climbed on to take a ride.....
Picture
Picture
Nyssa had gone over to a big trunk...."Want to see what's in here??"
Picture
Holly came over to look....
Picture
"These are my Mom's old dolls..."
Picture
"I sneak up here sometimes, to play with them..."
Picture
Eric was busy rocking on his horse.......and Nyssa was playing with her Mom's old dolls, as Holly looked around some more....
Picture
Picture
She noticed several fancy frames stacked against a pillar.  "What are these?"
Picture
She started to pull out the biggest fanciest frame, so she could have a better look...
Picture
Holly started to pull out the frame....
Picture
Eric turned to look....
Picture
Picture
"It's an old photo of some family."
Picture
"Do you know who they are??"
Picture
"I have no idea."     "I don't recognize them."
Picture
Picture
"This is your attic, so I thought you would know...."
Picture
"Well, let's take downstairs and ask your Mom...."
Picture
Meanwhile, down in the parlour, after the younger children had gone up to the attic to play, Lonnie and Lisa had gone inside with Iris to work on their needlepoint.  They were all almost finished the projects they'd been working on all winter
Picture
Lonnie and Lisa were in awe of Iris' tapestry...
Picture
Picture
"A few more stitches, and I'll be finished too."
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...then the three younger children came in, dragging the big framed photograph...
Picture
"Do you know who the people in this picture are??"
Picture
They turned it around so everyone could see it....
Picture
"We found this up in the attic, and thought you might know who they are..."
Picture
Everyone had a good look....
Picture
"I don't know. Who are those people?"
Picture
"That's me!  It's your Grandma and Grandpa, with me and Owen, and our sister, when we were little."
Picture
"Well, maybe we should hang it up?"
Picture
So Steve took down the painting above the fireplace, and hung up the photo instead....
"Does this look straight??"

Picture
Picture
"Yes. That's perfect!"
