Where this came from, I haven't a clue. But I must have thought these were my ancestresses somehow.

Fun memories to cherish!
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful to live in a time when communication over distances is available. It makes family a bit closer.
DeleteThat is a pile of Saturday memories on Friday. What I didn’t know is that ancestors is make, so we have ancestresses. I have never heard that word. I doubt that I will ever use it, but it is good to be aware of these things.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think there's a slip of the finger, such that you mean ancestors is "male."
Delete...a wonderful stroll down memory lane.
ReplyDeleteAbout once a month I go look at the family folder!
DeleteOld (and new) photos are so wonderful for the story they portray! I have fallen off in terms of taking photographs, but I feel guilty about that.

Some days I know people around me (perfect strangers!) are not happy with my stop to take photos.
DeleteThese are some wonderful pictures! I think my favorite may be the one of you and your sister on the beach. You have a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious about the couple in the picture with the cat. That woman is so striking! And I want those shoes. Badly.
There is another Barbara in our family, and all the times I say her name, I mean her...so it''s Barbara Baker and her sister, as well as the first shots earlier in the post. It's a great photo isn't it!
