Sepia Saturday: My 3 Dumplings

original print


our 3 sweet dumplings,

ages one, two and six months
one not so happy

Momma wanted a photo of her babies;
never mind that they were not
the least bit interested
in sitting still.
I could squeeze them still
looking at this memory of their sweetness.

tickled to be linking toSepia Saturday

Three under three. I had two under two. Did you ever get to start drinking a cup of tea or coffee??? Lovely photo!

What a darling threesome! I was trying to do the math, wow, these children were both very close together, must have been good company for each other....

yes, Rosie, I had them in March, 1960; April, 1961; July, 1962. I was busy for quite awhile with little sleep!

cold tea, and cold food most times! but they were really well-behave kids wherever we went.

Absolutely adorable, and I know what you mean about wanting to squeeze them still after all these years.I have a couple of pictures that have that effect on me too.

Great contribution to SS this week - thanks for sharing.
Did you do the photo work? Nice job at bringing the colors back so vividly. There's something about the three of them that reminds me of my cousins. Perhaps it's the colors or the pose. Very sweet.

I did nothing to the original color photo; that's good old Kodak paper. I did edit it to make a sepia copy so I could post it on SS. But it is 50 years old!

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
