Kit by Happy Scrappy (aka Attic Treasures by Anneli)
In this picture are my GreatGrand Parents Roy and Jimmy Hardy, Great Aunts Johnny and Wilma, and my GrandMother Dixie. I'm guessing that it was taken around 1940. GrandMother looks to be around 13, and there are two children missing. Probably not yet born.
I love old pictures. I can easily get lost wondering what life was like back then. No hustle-n-bustle of running from one activity to the next, grid-lock on the freeway, roag rage...the list goes on. I'm grateful for indoor plumbing, don't get me wrong. I just wish sometimes that life was simpler.
All but one has gone to heaven. GrandDad left us in 1964, GrandMother in 1989, Great Granny in 1999, Great Aunt Johnny in 2005.
I remember when we had one of these clocks hanging on our wall. Until my mom and step-dad got married. The maid of honor and best man came and redecorated our house; pouring 5 lbs of rice in their bed, t.p.'d the entire house, put pots n pans in the frig, and turned the clock upside down, among other things (my room was safe though..whew). The clock kept time after that, but her tail and eyes remained still :(
