Vintage Weekly # 65: My Grandma & Her Children

Momma, her brothers,
her mother and she gathered
for fam'ly portrait.

By the time
 this family portrait was taken,
my grandmother was a widow.
Most probably her brother-in-law,
owner of a photo studio
along with his wife,
took the picture.
I cannot imagine
that my grandma could afford
such a luxury.

I think old photos often relate small pieces of family lore that we have forgotten or never known. Those small pieces of history are part of us. Thanks for sharing.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
