My Grandparents














These pics had to be in the 20's. Aren't they a handsome bunch! The sepia photo is my Dad's parents and the black/white photo is of my Mom's parents (in the motorcycle attire).

The one I got any artistic ability from is the girl in the hat. She was always making something beautiful. She taught me how to crochet teddy bears and hacky-sac's in her last part of life.

All are gone now except the guy with the bandana. And he's a live-wire!

    I think of this quote as I look at these precious photos. Even more precious a grandaughter who thinks so fondly of her grandparents!! I can only pray that mine think of me in loving this way in their adult life!:)

  3. Yehhh, Rhoda Mae does remind me a bit of you Cat.

    Great memories - the crocheting..so this is another talent of yours ???

    Do you do that really teeny tiny crochet work ? Lacey edgings and doilies ?

    These are great photos. I do love the Rhoda Mae and Leo shot.
