I think this might be the greatest Wordless Wednesday yet.
Before I explain the girl in the clown outfit flanked by two almost twins who look like they are doing sign langugae, I have to explain where I get all these old pictures. My great-aunt (my paternal grandfather’s sister) and her husband send an old picture to their children every day! He explains who’s in it, what’s going on and any background info he can think of. Isn’t that cool? What a great way to pass on your heritage!
When the picture has someone in it that is from our branch of the family tree, they forward it on to my aunts or my dad. And they forward it to me.
And now to explain the clown suit. Apparently, my great aunt was in an “expedition” at the local stadium for her High School. Thousands of people showed up to see her team perform gymnastics, forming pyramids and dancing. The little girl on the left is my…uhm…my second cousin? I’m not sure…she’s my great-aunt’s niece. And I have to tell you her name, which I don’t usually do, because, I don’t know, it seems weird to tell you the names of my relatives.
Anyway, her names is Peaches.
Peaches.
Any guesses as to which state I’m in?
(btw, the other little girl is a neighborhood friend.)

Sorry – Offtopic question – I read that Daniel Cohen of http://verifiedfile.com broke the captcha code used by forums & blogs. How is that possible to read the contents of pictures? Not even Google reads pictures.
