Back when life was simple, a color slide collection from ennailuj shows daily life of an American family in the mid-1950s.
"My husband's grandfather took a lot of photos, mostly slides. The photos were for the most part taken in Nebraska and California, with a smaller number taken on Whidbey Island in Washington and in Bemidji, Minnesota."
