Not Social Distancing at all

People piling on cars!


Seven Women on an old car (with a crank handle).
This is part of my ex-husband's collection of photos, and I am pretty sure one of these women was my mother-in-law in her youth, living on a farm in Michigan.

Here is the link to the Sepia Saturday suggestion this week!

Who knew that our chummy togetherness would be forbidden during a pandemic.

The difference between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

    Hello, these are awesome family photos. I wish I had some old family photos, not sure who in my family has them. Take care, stay safe! Have a great day! Happy Easter weekend!

    The question is, will we ever be able to enjoy this kind of chumminess again?

    Lovely old photos. It's nice to look back during these times of social isolation.

    A perfect match to the prompt which reminded me I have a very similar photo but I went a different route. Maybe I should throw it in for good measure anyway? Happy Easter, Happy Spring! :)

    The magnolia tree photo is gorgeous! One of my Facebook friends has been posting the blooming of a magnolia outside her apartment -- a healing balm of nature amid the C19 pandemic. Also love the car photo, a hopeful portend of days ahead when we can once again see friends and family in person.

    Those were the days, when we could smash into a car together. Ah.

    Funny - I love the connection to social distancing, the catch phrase of the day! We will all need to pile into a car together when the virus crisis is over.

    A very suitable photo for this weekend and maybe next Saturday too with the group of women. Funny that with today's cars no one ever sits on top of them like this. Mainly because they are too tall.g

    Great photo. Everyone looks so carefree. Can't wait to get out of this house and go for a drive!
