I'm Back from Phoenix

I just returned from a long weekend visiting my daughter and her six children in Arizona where the temps reached 106 degrees!

When I returned I had a nice email exchange with Violet's granddaughter Laurie, so today I'll feature a few photos from that family. My Mom, Evelyn, lived with Violet and Art and family while my Dad was serving overseas during WWII. Violet's daughter Jo-Ann was a teenager when I was born and I've been told she took very good care of me.

Violet - always so glamorous!

I know these are Violet's sons Charles and Dale
 but there is nothing written on the back of the
photos so I'm not sure which is which.

A Letter from Mommie

Since we lived far away from Mommie and Poppie, letters were the main form of communication between my Mom and her parents. As soon as I learned to read I couldn't wait to open her letters and get the latest from Michigan. This letter was written in the mid 1960s and was typical of her newsy style.

Glen, Berneda and Doris, Right?

Is this Dorothy?

Can you identify?

A Beautiful Portrait

I love this photo - the way they all look directly into the camera.
I wonder what thoughts were in their minds.
