Agda and Hazel. Outside our old home in Oxford, MN. 1963.
Hazel is my Great-Grandmother. And Agda? Yes, she’s THE Agda.

I have to comment on this one…
This is an interesting picture to me b/c this is almost exactly how I remember my Great-Grandmother. She looks “modern” to me. (Relatively speaking, of course.) Agda, on the other hand looks straight out of a covered wagon!
I just wonder about WHY this picture happened. Did they meet just so they could go visit the house? Did Agda still live in Oxford and Hazel came to visit? Was it a perfunctory family time? They look so uncomfortable. Was it sad to be there?
And poor poor Agda. Not that we should be surprised based on her other pictures but still…

Oh, Adga. I have missed your grumpy frown and unreasonable clothes.

Great photo. I love old photos, so much character, so many memories, and so many frowns!
