Pictures with who they are wrote on the back

So true! I've seen lots of old photos with no descriptions, and it's always great to find the ones with names, dates, and places!

I also second handwritten recipes!! I especially love the one I have of my mom's.

Old-fashioned letters

.... with no Internet you probably had no idea about Rita Hayworth
