An old family photo - Grandmother Bivens and her children

i chose this picture today because it's one of the few pictures i have seen of Grandmother Bivens and all of her adult children.  In fact, it might be the only one i know of with just them in it.  And the fact that it's a color picture taken sometime in the early/mid 50's by a non professional photographer (at least i think it's non professional) is pretty cool.  This was taken at the back of the family home, Edgewood Farms.  They are standing behind the kitchen.  You can see the beautiful bay window, which was removed after we sold the house, to the dining room on the left side of the picture.  From left to right there is Sara Orr, John Bivens, Jane Carroll, Grandmother Bivens, Billie Snipes Hinson, Mary Lee Tyner and Dorothy Laney.
