antiques

 I am not much of an antique person, but these were in my moms storage closet and I claimed them.  The lamp with the dancing ladies was my grandmothers, Phyllis Toliver.  It is so pretty when it is lite.  The picture was painted by Clara Carlquist.  She is Frank Willmores (Phyllis' father) sister.  In other words my great grandfathers sister.

This lamp I remember in Grandma T's house, but it was Aunt Sue's before.  Aunt Sue, or Sue Narah was M.E.'s (my grandfather, Lynda (my moms) dad) sister.  She married Ray, a man that was born on the border of Lebanon and Syria and he moved to the U.S. when he was 9 years old.  He ended up doing very well financially in the United States.  Sue and Ray had 1 baby, but it died when it was born, the baby is buried in the Idaho Falls cemetery.
