I’m pretty sure this is a picture of me at Disneyland.

I know I’m in California and I know that stroller isn’t typical of a normal family.

Self-Esteem: A Retro Photo

February 24, 2010 wordless wednesday

Hazel. Mildred. Virginia. 1928. Hazel is my great-grandmother. My mom said Great-Grandma was a very strange woman. When she saw this picture my mom speculated that Great Grandma scratched her own face out. Isn’t that freaky? And even if that’s not the case, someone MUST have scratched it out. So, regardless, this picture makes me [...]
