dual personalities

It occurred to me that it has been quite awhile since we featured a (fat) baby on Friday. So here is a photo circa 1926 featuring our mother (the baby) and her older sister Susanne, who was around three at the time. They must have been in Chicago visiting their grandfather or in Michigan at his little house there.

Our baby appears to be focused on keeping her thumb in her mouth. Her grandfather has a good grip on her.

You’ve seen him before as a young and handsome, but reportedly sickly, young man traveling to Colorado for his health.

But here he is as an old man. He lived well into his 80s in the 1940s. Imagine the change he saw in his lifetime–1861–1947! The Civil War to post-WWII. It truly boggles the mind.

Well, as we frequently say on this blog–time like an ever-rolling stream…

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it’s Friday! So let’s turn on the mini Chinese lantern lights, pour some wine and start the weekend!
