Grands. A Retro Photo.

1931. Grandma. Great-Grandpa Peterson.

June, 11 months with her Grandpa Peterson. July 1931.

I have several photos from this same day. I love this because it makes me feel like this must have been a very special event. I’m guessing it was Independence Day—see the flags on the car? And speaking of the car, how cool is that? But my favorite part is my Great-Great Grandpa Peterson looking over my Grandmother. I hope this picture was taken because someone thought it was a sweet pose that showed the love of a Grandfather and Granddaughter.

She looks like Nora as a baby!! (or I guess actually it would be “Nora looks like her!”)

Great old photo – I love to browse through photos, and especially when you get to find out a bit more background to the subjects of the photos.

Thanks for sharing, now I feel inspired to go rummage through our family photos :)
