What Were They Thinking

I love going through old pictures.  Many times they lead me for a stroll down Memory Lane.

Sometimes I will run across a picture that puzzles me.  One in which you wonder what those people were thinking about when the picture was taken.

Like this one.

This one was taken in 1960, sometime around Christmas.  The little doo-dad on the coffee table was a decoration that Mom set out only at Christmas time.  The candles on the bottom were lit and the heat from them made the angels above move round and round.  Mom and Dad are in the living room of the house on the farm.  But what on earth could they have been thinking about to have such sober looks on their faces!

That's more like it.
