Kin: Great Aunts

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

More from the vintage archives of my family.

This picture cracks me up. Great Aunt May and Edith ALWAYS looked like this. And leaning on the back of my grandma's Ford Escort with a pile of wood and tractor behind them--priceless.  

Front row left to right is Edith(?), Georgia, Pauline (my grandma), and Hester. The short woman in the back row is my great grandma Stella. I am assuming most of the other women are my great aunts. My grandma had a 14 brothers and sisters, and all the boys had rhyming names.

    I love these photos. My only remaining Great Aunt just passed away two weeks ago and it has be thinking and remembering how wonderful it was to grow up with several living and healthy generations in my family. I miss them now so much and now you've inspired me to dig out the old family albums and maybe frame a few of the gems.
