This windmill is only a few decades older than the water tank in the foreground.
Recently, my husband and I took our children to the panhandle of Texas to see the place where their great-grandfather cultivated the land and their grandmother grew up.
Old farm equipment used by great-grandfather, c. 1930s - 1940s
Grandmother hated going in this storm cellar for fear of rattlers.
I love showing my kids their history. It's great that you could take them there to show them how their great-grandparents lived. I can only show them online right now... until we can make it back to Germany one day!
I absolutely love these photos. I like natural, genuine photos. They have mean when there is history connected to them. Thanks for sharing these! McGuffy's Reader http://www.mcguffysreader.blogspot.com
