I love, love, love vintage cameras.  I don’t even care if they work or not.  I like the way the look, I like to think about the history they may have captured.  Who owned it before me?

I have been lucky to find some while hunting at local thrift stores.  One even came with the owners manual where the person who had purchased it had written the year and place they bought the camera at.  How cool is that?

They have a lot of character!!  Actually all things vintage have this same appeal for me.  I even found a vintage pair of roller skates!  You know the oldschool metal ones that you strapped over your shoe?  They even have metal wheels!!  I’ll post a photo of them later.

For now though, enjoy this gorgeous bit of history…

I also wanted to share a photo of Morgan with one of the horses from Horse Camp, where she volunteers.  Last Saturday was the last day.

dscf4119Today Morgan and I volunteered at the Denton Community Food Center.  We had a great time and plan on going back whenever we can get away without the little ones.  The people there are so super nice!

The food center is located at: 109 W. Sycamore in Denton, TX.  They provide staple food supplies to families/individuals that are in an emergency situation.  The food center accepts donations of food and money.

Volunteers are always needed on a regular basis.  They are open Monday-Friday from 1-3 p.m.

Some of the volunteer tasks include:

  • screening families
  • filling orders
  • maintaining supplies
  • stocking shelves
  • keeping the food center in order. dscf4118

It’s nice to give back! Get in there and volunteer!  This will count towards her 4H community service and be added to the memory book we are working on now.
