What a delightful expression on my Grandma’s face! Such a great smile. When this photo was taken in August of 1936, my Grandma was just about six weeks past her fourth birthday.
Grandma was always an animal lover. I think it would be impossible to try to count the number of animals that lived with her over the course of her lifetime, so I won’t try. But I think this early photo of her enjoying some puppy snuggles is a great indicator of her animal-loving future.
I am also very surprised by how much my Auntie V looks like Grandma in this photo. They looked so much alike as children but then rather different as adults.
Happily, the back of the photo was labeled by Grandma’s mother:
Thank you, Grandma Estelle! Your photo labels are fantastic and almost completely make up for your use of cellophane tape on the front of photos to put them in albums, almost. 😉
Happy Thursday!! Label some photos today. xoxo
You are so lucky she labeled photos. I have so many unknown people. It makes me sad that their names are lost.
Thank you, Ellen! Yes, I feel so blessed that she not only took so many photos, but that she labeled so many of them as well. She left me an amazing photo legacy for which I am deeply grateful.
Your grandmother is about the same age as my sister, Marjorie. I have a cute picture of her with a puppy also. This photo has a beautiful setting!
Thank you, Nancy! ❤️
It’s a beautiful photo. I think you look like your grandma too.
Thank you, Su! I love it. ❤️
What a precious photograph! Captures all her innocence and joie de vivre!
Thank you, Amy! ❤️
Hmm, looks like my comment didn’t go through. I said—What a wonderful photograph! It shows all her innocence and joie de vivre!
Hmmm… now I’ll have to check and see what’s going on because I just saw that comment and responded to it…
Yes, it was delayed in going through. I saw it after I posted the second one and couldn’t delete the second one. Rather than add a third, I figured you’d figure it out!
They are both there now. Not sure what happened. 😉
Sigh…sorry about that. Nothing happened. Just my first comment didn’t show up until I posted the second one…
