Oh thank you for posting this! What a great picture! Everyone looks very happy.

How are you doing today?

Wonderful picture!

I love that photo! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. (and the fashion of the day so interesting too....your mothers dress)

What a great picture! I love that your parents are beaming; so few people smiled in the older photos. As mentioned by morz, I also enjoyed seeing the fashion of the day, especially your mother's dress.

Oh wow, I love that picture. Of course you were a cute baby, but your parents were such a lovely looking couple too. What a treasure!

This is a little off topic but I hope you’ve shared it with all of your family. I only say that because after our Mother passed, we found a box full of pictures of our mother and aunt as children as well as our grandmother as a child with our great grandmother. Some we’re guessing are from the late 1800’s. We have no idea why she never shared them with us and sadly, we don’t know who most of the people in them are.

Senior Gal! I'm so glad to see you post! (Btw, are you also MinnLady? I bookmarked this blog and I forget whether it is you or another poster whose name I've forgotten.)

That is such a fun picture and yes, it's unusual to see the subjects smiling back in that period of time. My mother was born in '20 so this would have pretty much been her era too.

I too would like to ask how you are doing, if you don't mind?

Kool Beans, that is a real shame to have all those pictures with no information. I have a box of old family pictures too, but my mom wrote on the back of just about every picture the date and who all were in the pictures. I'm so lucky to have these and I love seeing her handwriting.

I'm doing pretty well, though my fight with flu, bronchitis and pneumonia a year ago at Christmas has changed my life somewhat. I use a walker and have hired a helper for a few hours a week.

Almost all of my original friends here have died, so it gets a bit lonely.

Sjerin--yes, I am Mnlady. Don't post on my blog much, but have joined a writers group here. As I approach my 97th birthday I am amazed that I am still here.

Wow - what an inspiration you are senior gal. I'll be the first in line to read whatever you may publish!

Just look at this Proud Papa! I recall that you were the eldest of several children, and I wonder if your pretty mother's dress is styled like this to enable it to 'expand' as needed?

Always a treat to hear from you!

I love the photo; it exudes joy. You must be so proud to be 97.

Mom and Dad look so proud of you.....lovely picture. Thanks for sharing.

What a great photo. Your parents look so pleased with you. Mom has a lovely dress and hat!

Murraysmom, it really is a shame and mystery. My paternal Grandmother did a lot of photo exchanges with family still in Ireland and those photos are all nicely documented with names & dates. My siblings and I have always treasured them. There are some amazing photos in my Mom’s box, I could spend days looking at them and never get bored, we just wish we knew who they are!

Seniorgal, I’m sorry you’ve not been well and being lonely isn’t much fun either. I’m hopeful that you might be willing to share more photos and if you’re so inclined the stories behind them.

Your parent's adoration of you is so evident in this picture! So sweet!

I love that photo of you and your parents!

Great photo! Lovely to see such a happy family.

I feel I had a tiny glimpse of what it feels like to lose one's contemporaries after my sister passed. But that's nothing compared to outliving one's family AND friends! Illness creates a lonely time so it's no exaggeration to say I greatly admire you for your fortitude, Senior Gal! I'm glad you decided and were able to hire some help and that you will used a walker. :) Do you have a few friends and activities in your complex, now that you're up and at 'em? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions.

What a great picture.

I'm enthralled with old pictures and this one is so happily different from most! We all would love to read your writings. I have enjoyed them so much and want more!

I'm looking for another old picture of my parents with me beside their car which was black with side curtains. Have so many files of things that I can't find the picture but I'll look some more today.

What a WONDERFUL picture! ! ! I can't help but smile when I look at it, your parents look so happy! Thank you for sharing.

Rusty

They look so proud! Lovely photo.
