Pictures

I love old-timey pictures.  They leave so much to the imagination.  These are pictures of my paternal great-grandparents:

I particularly like the top photograph, look at her hand.  It looks like she is "worrying" her thumb nail.  This is something I do often, when nervous or anxious.  This pictures don't say much about a life, do they? I'm not even certain I see any family resemblances....

These are my paternal grandparents (the children of the couples above):

Here of course I see family resemblances....I was fortunate to have known my grandmother.  She even lived with us for a while.  She passed away the summer before Chief and I married.  I never met my grandfather.

These are my maternal grandparents:

Like my other grandfather, he too passed away before I was born.  I was again fortunate to have known my grandmother.  She passed away when I was in high school.  Here too I see many family resemblances.  This is where I got my nose after all!

Finally here are my parents ( I wouldn't qualify this as an old-timey photo, though)

Aren't they a good-looking pair?  When L first saw this picture he was confused because he thought it was a picture of Uncle J.....
I love wedding pictures in particular, because there is so much that happens in a life AFTER that moment.  Are they doing now, what they thought they would be doing?  Or do they think "how did I get here?"

Finally, for your viewing pleasure, a picture from my wedding day.  I should have known what was in store for me from this "joke" picture.  And I wonder why they find bathroom jokes so funny?
