my grandmother

[alonewiththemoon]

I finally got around to looking at the CD my dad made of photographs of my grandmother, taken throughout her life. She looked so happy when she was young, the perfect picture of a young woman in love and starting her family. She looked pretty happy when she was older, too, doing the hula, but those older photos just have a glow...


Here she is as a very happy bride--I don't think this is her wedding dress, just what she wore later:


Here is the family at Atlantic City. My dad is the smallest one. He's the only one alive today.



Here she is with her sister, before she was married. I think she is the one with the fabulous sleeves.



Here she is a few years ago doing hula with some ladies from her church. She's the one on the left.



And here's Christmas in 1985 or 1986--probably 86--at my family's house:

The old photos are great, she and her sister were truly fashionistas :)

I do have a side tail there! It's a little shadowed in the picture, but it's slinking around my neck, unbraided.

Oh, that's too funny ~ I totally see it now! :)
