Marge & Julie

Aunt Marge and her little Julie

The picture is labeled 1969, must be summer, short sleeves are in tow, 

and the playpen in the background is in the shade.  

Can't tell if this was taken on the farm.
Aunt Margie confirms that this was taken in the park,
at a picnic with the Laidley families.

Myrtle's Sisters

My paternal grandmother, Myrtle, and her sisters.

I wish I knew more about this picture, where it was taken,

or about when it was taken.  I was assuming late 30s, early 40s.

What stories could there be behind a simple picture? 

perhaps that's what my fascination with old photos are.....

the things we'll never know!

Snazzy Ladies!

Laidley Girls

Louella, Della, Elsie, Hazel, Vera, and Irma

The one on the far left is my maternal grandmother, Louella 

(can't see her ring finger, but she wed in June 1930, her first born in 1932)

In trying to guess the year of this picture..... 

Della appears pregnant, but I don't know any of her children's birth years.

It appears Irma is wearing a wedding ring, she married in Oct 1930.  

If Irma is pregnant, and I believe she is, then this would be 1931/32 . 

Not sure of the occasion ... but they sure are dressed snazzy!
