[Photographs of Cecil and Mary Smith at Their Ranch]

Two photographs of Cecil and Mary Smith. In the first photo, the couple stands side by side behind a large fence, Cecil (on the left, wearing a bomber jacket and baseball cap) with his left arm resting on the fence. In the background, a house on the right, a fence on the left, and large trees are visible. In the second photograph, the couple stands beside a barbed-wire fence post, Cecil on the right, wearing a white shirt and cowboy hat, and Mary on the left, wearing a long sleeve dress with pearls. In the background, a house with dark wood siding and a tin roof is visible, with a lawn chair just in front of it. The two photographs are attached to a piece of paper with handwritten notes about the photos written on it.
