Hanging Your Wordless Wednesday Out To Dry

February 13, 2008 family

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. (For [...]

Do Wordless Wednesdays Tell The Truth?

February 6, 2008 abc

My Grandparents. Don’t they look jaunty? I love Grandma’s hat and Grandpa’s tie! I never knew my grandparents married. So, this is an odd picture to me. But then it also seems telling…Grandpa not smiling, hands in his pockets. Grandma making them get their picture taken and smiling like everything’s ok. Or did the photographer [...]

My Mom, Grandmother, Grandfather, Maternal Grandparents & Great Uncle. 1958. I love this picture. Isn’t it cozy? I think it’s interesting because if we were having lunch outside, what would we do?

Hazel, George, Agda & Mips. 1923. Hazel, my great-grandmother. George, unknown. Agda, my great-grandmother’s sister. Mips, my great-grandmothers life-long friend. I told you about Agda (Ugh-duh) last week, remember? And was I right? I mean, I know my great-grandmother wasn’t a looker, either. But Ugduh Agda kinda reminds me of Moaning Mrytle! Poor girl. Here’s [...]

Wurd-liss Whens-daee.

January 16, 2008 family

Hazel, owner of the doll. My great-grandmother. Agda, pronounced Ugh-duh. Hazel’s sister. I just think this is a great picture. I have several pictures of Ugduh Agda that I’m going to share. But I wanted to share this one because it’s the most…flattering of her. She was not an attractive woman. And with a name [...]

Post Party Depression

January 11, 2008 party

Well, I thought my snowflake party was good until I saw this. Did you click? Go ahead. Look around. Then come back here… Waiting… Now, wipe off the drool from your face and tell me how GORGEOUS that is! Maybe I can save up and do that for Lydia’s wedding. She’ll probably have to get [...]
