Today's theme, families showing the love between them...especially some children!
When I was 3-1/2 years old my baby sister came into my life. A real disruption! But also some moments of joy. Here I am in 1946 holding my baby sister!

Mom's birthday gang (2022) turned B&W.
L to R. W, C, A, R, C2, Mom, T, M, M2. to protect the innocent!
These are good ones.
ReplyDeleteI like the nice variety of economic levels...some families have love without much else, and some just shine together.
Delete...there has been little joy since my sister came into my life.
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of photos, love the one of you holding your baby sister. Take care, have a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen...hope you also have a great weekend.
DeleteI too am glad of the assortment you shared. Wonderful to look back in time.
ReplyDeleteDifferent looking families...just being themselves!
DeleteThese are all wonderful pictures. The one of you holding your baby sister is priceless and adorable. Is that a lodge behind the group in the last photo? It looks rather marvelous!
ReplyDeleteIt was our B&B for the family gathering...a cabin/mansion which sleeps 14, but we were only 10!
DeleteDang! I keep forgetting to add my name to my comments.
ReplyDeleteThe bleep bleep Blogger anonymous! Unfortunately you're not the only one, so I'm glad to know this was you!
DeleteA lovely portrayal of social history . My favourites have to be the images with children, especially the delightful one of the little you with your baby sister.
ReplyDeleteNow I wonder which anonymous you are...the children are able to express themselves so well...and not all of them were very happy about standing there for a photo!
DeleteI was Anon. Above!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks!
DeleteYou really have a grip on your baby sister there. I was born in 1946 too, but I was the oldest. Nice variety.
ReplyDeleteI was told not to let go...I do remember that. Many times I'd asked if I could hold her, but this was the first time!
DeleteMy high school in the 60s looked just like that one in the 50s.
DeleteIn the grocery store I saw a young girl wearing a shirt of my alma mater. She was very young, yet I was so adult when I went, Or so I thought.
ReplyDeleteAh ha! Young at heart we must still be!
DeleteThese are amazing photos. I like that, 'to protect the innocent!'
ReplyDeleteI've scattered their names hither and yon before...finally decided if their faces are here, maybe no names.
DeleteNicely done for this weekend's theme, Your first photo is a treasure for sure, but the last one is multiple treasures beyond measure.
ReplyDeleteEven though we didn't know that that iphone camera would make those closest look huge (like my nose on a selfie!) so my grandson, who is closest, looks like a giant...while his father, brother and uncles are mostly taller than he is. Yes, a treasure of a picture of treasures all.
DeleteJust letting you know I finally posted my journal. Been a busy day! From now on, feel free to go ahead and post yours, can link to mine once I get it done.

ReplyDeleteThat first photo is especially precious. What a smile you have!
