True, they may seem mundane to us, but to our descendants they may be just as fascinating as photos of our ancestors at work are to us.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-64167145847196842332012-09-12T21:57:54.595-07:002012-09-12T21:57:54.595-07:00Hi Debi,

It would be cool to see them.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-79303079731952308212012-09-12T21:43:51.799-07:002012-09-12T21:43:51.799-07:00Jana you have wonderful photos!

It was wonderful to imagine him there, but what I wouldn't give to have a picture of him working at that shop like you have of your grandfather. Guess the lesson for me here is to take pictures doing our common day to day things because times change and we never know how much those pictures will possibly mean to another generation. Thanks for sharing.

Plus my paternal grandmother's family owned a well known dry goods store and I've found a few photos of that. Sadly, though, no one is in any of the pictures :-( I love that you are able to see Arthur on the job!Debi Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409492643470603926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-39478341316778910202012-09-05T16:23:21.453-07:002012-09-05T16:23:21.453-07:00Hi Wendy!

And our Honda Odyssey had to have body work done. And $1,000 later that's fixed now. Ouch!<br /><br />I too am grateful to whoever photographed my grandpa. I wonder who it was....<br /><br />FYI, Kwik-Way's website says it is a "Manufacturer of Industry Leading Automotive Repair Machines."<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by!<br />Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-71469420698946986292012-09-05T16:09:33.798-07:002012-09-05T16:09:33.798-07:00I could have used Arthur today.

Anyway, I'm grateful to whoever had the idea to photograph Arthur at work. Did Kwik-Way make a variety of auto tools?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
