June 2013 Journal...Way back

Greetings Scrappy Minions!!!
I have missed scrapping...missed a TON. I've been MIA...and I
apologize. Follow along with my train of thought (derailed more
often than not --- but I digress)... PHOTO FIRST::

I wanted to do a tribute to my Gram for a challenge. Couldn't
do it. So, with me already having not so much mojo, I was
taxing myself to come up with something...ANYTHING that I would
be able to scrap. I've had a ridiculous time with it (room
construction/travel/end of school all contributing to a
"physical" extent along with the mental block).
Here is my challenge:
Pick a group HERITAGE photo - and I'm hoping for "as old as you
can find" (mine, circa 1951). TELL THE STORY.
My hope is this -- that you have a story to tell, no matter
where/who you got the story from. My reason behind it is this
-- This photo that I used, the Schake family - is actually my
Great Grandmother's family. I met my Great Gram (mother of my
Gram that just passed), but I never met anyone else in this
photo. The thing that squeezed my heart when I found the photo,
is the fact that I HAVE no story, other than names. I got those
from my Grandma a few years ago when she gave me a box of photos
(knowing me like she does, and thinking I would be the only one
that would care about them). any photos without names on the
back, I got her to give me names...if there was a
"what/when/where/why/how" that she knew, she gave it to me.
This photo - other than giving me the names, and telling me that
it was "a reunion/gathering type thing" - it has no further
story.
Though my absence from the site does not prove this to be true
-- I love scrapbooking. I love the journaling. I treasure the
photos. I hoard the stories. I toss all of this together as
art-therapy, and I think that all of these things will be
treasured in the future. I want to be able to preserve the
essence of the past with snippets of voices/tales/anecdotes.
So, show us your family's past...and I'll cheer you on as I read
any story you can gather and put to the page.
:)

the back story is - their clothes look springy as well as the
surroundings (it is PA). they were married in June. they were
not well off (so no formal/big nuptials). on my blog - I'm
windier. putting it all together I made the leap it could be
their wedding day. And there's no one left that can confirm it.

heritage-esque layouts ;)
