My great-grandmother, Hazel and Ricky. Early 1943. Minneapolis.
Isn’t this a great picture? I know I say this every time but this one is cool! Look at Ricky’s truck, all the laundry and great-grandma’s shoes. This is one of those that shows some reality. As usual, it makes me wonder about their real life.

I’m first. I can’t take 2nd place lying down… I am on a mission
It is a cool picture. It always makes me wonder what made them think to snap that picture right then? What were they thinking about?
Hope you are having a good day today!
What a great picture! So many of the pictures taken back then were just groups of people posing; I enjoy the action in this one.
People took such funny pictures back then! I doubt we would go out back and pose in front of our underwear hanging to dry now! Of course who hangs laundry to dry, but you know what I mean!
i love this picture! they should market the background at sears:) You have the best photos. I should start doing some of my old family photos…
Love the granny panties hanging out to dry! I can’t imagine my neighbors seeing that when they looked out their windows.
Wonder if the background was intentional or what they were thinking.

I love it too! I could never hang my underwear out for my neighbors to see… but it was a different time back then!
Beautiful, I really do want to slip inside the photo and be in that moment, talk to that mom.
I love the picture. It is amazing how different things are in just 60 years.
