My parents documented our lives with photos placed in scrapbooks that got updated as life's big milestones were reached. The albums grew thick with memories of trips, holidays, relatives and friends.
Fortunately, my Daddy started his first album in his teens, and I’m lucky to have some of his dated baby photos. This is a photo of him in Philadelphia on his “velocipede” in 1922. He was always on the go.
Good evening Bette ... you are so lucky to have these early pictures of your father. What a great photo and wouldn't you love to have that velocipede?
What a classic photo!
Judith beat me to the line, "don't you wish you had that velocipede?

Hi Bette, I Love the Tricycle. (Velocipede?) I am not familiar with that word. Cute photo. You are lucky that he has compiled such an album.

Fred, I would love to have the cycle for my Grandchildren. They would think it was a real hoot!
Larry, My husband knew the quadracycle was a velocipede, but I had to research it to make sure he was correct.
Cool photo and great toy Bette, where can I find one of these? So nice that your dad saved his photos for you too.

Good morning Bette. What a special photo. I am from Philadelphia and the mere mention brings back a lot for me too.
Hi Bette, I love this photo and what great memories to have in your scrapbooks!
Love this old photo and you are so lucky to have that. I don't have any of my dad when he was little but have several of my mom. They are very special to me especially now that she is gone. What a wonderful mom she was.
Bette,
THese are priceless especially when they are no longer around these become even more precious!
