Things in the Photo Box

I am the current holder of albums and boxes of photos from both sides of the family.It is our intent to scan as many of the photos as possible and to put them in archival (acid free Boxes) and take them out of the albums that are causing them to degrade. In the photos were several small clippings from magazines and newspapers. See if there is a grain of old truth in any of them for you:


The Way You're Judged

Its the way you live, not the way you talk,
Not the way your preach, but the way you walk,
That the world will judge whatever you claim,
That the world will praise, as the world will blame.

Its the way you do, not the way you say,
not the way you speak, but the way you pay
It will like the best or will like the most,
its the way you work, not the way you boast.


Its the way you sing, not the way you sigh,
Not the way you whine, but the way you try,
That will hold you down or help you far,
Not the way you seem but the way you are.

- Douglas Malloch



Keep on Keepin' On



If the day looks kinder gloomy and your chances kinder slim,
If the situatin's puzzlin' and the prospects awful grim,
If perplexities keep pressin', till hope is nearly gone,
Jes' bristle up and grit your teeth and keep on keepin' on.

Frettin' never wins a fight and fumin' never pays,
There ain't no use in broodin' In these pessimistic days;
Smile a kinder cheerfully through hope is nearly gone,
and bristle up and grit your teeth, and keep on keepin' on.
