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.

Oh! And come join my photo tag of you and your true love blog!
I’m first. I can’t take 2nd place lying down… I am on a mission 🙂
It is a cool picture. It always makes me wonder what made them think to snap that picture right then? What were they thinking about?
Hope you are having a good day today!
What a great picture! So many of the pictures taken back then were just groups of people posing; I enjoy the action in this one.
People took such funny pictures back then! I doubt we would go out back and pose in front of our underwear hanging to dry now! Of course who hangs laundry to dry, but you know what I mean!
i love this picture! they should market the background at sears:) You have the best photos. I should start doing some of my old family photos…
Love the granny panties hanging out to dry! I can’t imagine my neighbors seeing that when they looked out their windows. 🙂
Wonder if the background was intentional or what they were thinking.
I love it too! I could never hang my underwear out for my neighbors to see… but it was a different time back then!
Beautiful, I really do want to slip inside the photo and be in that moment, talk to that mom.
I love the picture. It is amazing how different things are in just 60 years.
