My grandmother & unknown male. 1943.
I think Grandma was born in 1930. That’d make her 13. She looks older than that, don’t you think? Of course 13 year olds in 1943 were a little different than 13 year olds are now.
Look at the guy’s outfit (so dashing!), their pose, the bike, the guy in the back working on the house and looking at the camera! This just looks like a little slice of a fun day.
I wonder if this is the little town Grandma grew up in? My mom and I got to walk around it when we were in Minnesota this year.

I’ve been enjoying these old photos! She certainly looks much older than 13, though – 17 or 18 maybe . . .
Most assuredly a very fun photo! I agree she does look older than 13 but you never know. Hmmm, now I need to start digging out some of my family photos of yesteryear and see what I can find!
Happy WW!

That is a great shot!
As always, love the picture.
the way you wrote “unknown male” cracks me up. I’m not sure why as it is a completely legitimate way of describing him!
As always, love seeing your B&W’s.
happy wednesday
I love old pictures.
Great picture, it reminds me of one I’ve seen of my mother in a row of her girlfriends… they all had their jeans rolled up and look so tough
She’s so not tough btw.
Happy Wednesday!
Tell Lydia me & Izzy say “HI!”

What a fun pic! That pose is awfully “familiar” for being an “unknown male!”
And yes, she does look older than 13.
That’s a great picture
Ha ha–you do wordless Wed. the same way I do–with words!!
When my grandfather died last year, my grandmother and I went through some of her pics, and I brought home several like this. It’s priceless.
My dad was born in 1933(he was 40 when I was born)and had loads of old photos. Your picture has motivated me to go take a closer look at them.
thats darling!
Happy WW!
Love that pic. Yes,13 was old back then. My great-grandma was married at 13!
I think this is my favorite old family photo of yours of all time!
