Decision: How about the Other Side of the Family







This scanning is just so much fun! I am finding pictures of the way things used to be that just bring back some fond memories (not that I remember the day these were taken but the idea of being all together at Grandma and Grandpa Richardson's). Here are some from about 1950 of Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins at Grandma and Grandpa Richardson's. Aren't they just the cutest and best! Can you pick out who they are....do you see yourself?

I can so see myself in that 2nd pick. Who are the boys in the 3rd one? Also, would you please tell us who people are. Just put it in the comments if you want us to guess first. I think I know everyone in the first pick, but not sure. These are so fun!

FIRST PICTURE: Back Row, Left to Right: Uncle John, Aunt Audrey, Uncle Harold, Dad (the woman to his left might be Mom or Aunt Oley)
Seated, Left to Right: My Grandma Dolly, Aunt Hazel, Aunt Neoma, Uncle Dacel. Picture was taken by either Mom or Aunt Oley, whichever one of them isn't standing next to Dad.

SECOND PICTURE: Some Richardson Cousins: 'Back' Row, Left to Right: Ralph, Ivan, Helen (Susie), me with Sherry Lynn on my lap. 'Front' Row, Left to Right: Bob, Patti with Cindy Jane on her lap, Ronnie.

THIRD PICTURE: Ralph, Ronnie, and Cindy Jane. Mom took this picture. It is one of her favorite pictures of those three.

Hey Cuz!

I think I inherited that look from my dad! Cool pics of days gone by.

Good work here. Thanks for doing it and sharing it.

The one lesson I've learned - nobody's Grandma like her picture taken...... :)

Marlys said...

Michael, I know....LOL I have seen you make that face. What is so cool is I can remember seeing your Dad make it too! Guess there are just some things you can always count on. And, I think the picture of your Mom is so beautiful! I just love her smile....Mom tells me she thinks this picture is one of the best pictures she has of your Mom!

Is that who Aunt Audrey is? Michael's mom?

Erica said...

So that's the baby boom. ; )

Marlys said...

Yes Molly, that is correct.

Oh Erica, pictured are only 9 of the 23 grandchildren my Grandma and Grandpa Richardson had. I think the real 'boom' was just about to start....giggles! Although, it does look like quite a house full--doesn't it (grin)
