We have many pictures like this one -- and decades of them.

This is John and Ruthe Meeker with a cousin, Laura Barrier.

John and Georgia


My grandmother told me that I should always practice sitting on the floor, so that I don't lose the ability to do it as I age. Clearly, this is a lesson learned from John and Georgia, who seem to be reading on the floor.

I don't entirely understand what's going on here -- or why this was taken -- but it's pretty funny.

Downtown Anadarko

The picture is rather faded -- but the steps read "Please do not sit on steps during business hours"
