Last night I was looking for info on some of my family, just a generation up or two. I'm not sure quite what started it, but I sure did get lost in it for a while. I have a dresser that belonged to one of my Aunts and in doing some history searches, I came across this photo of one of my Great-Grandmothers. She was my Dad's Grandmother on his father's side.
I do remember her when I was growing up, although I wasn't around her a lot. It seemed then that she was much older than this photo, but you know how that is, when you are very young, many people look ancient, that are not really.
Hattie, nick name for Harriet, lived till she was 102 and she was clear and mostly independent until the last couple of years of her life.
The thing is, to me, I believe I may have her eyes, face structure and more, however, I would have never noticed or thought that as a child. Maybe I'm seeing more than what is there, but I'm thinking if I got me some round glasses, I may look a lot like her if I am lucky enough to get older. I don't know if I am correct or not, She does have that happy mischief in her eyes. My lips don't look just like that, but they may in a few years. She was born in 1873 and passed in 1975.
I believe this may have been taken somewhere in the middle 1940s, but I could be very wrong about that. There were several other small photos on the same page that had dates of 1943 and 1945/1946. This is classic for being elderly in the 40s don't you think? Lace neckline with a sweater and broach.
Ok... that's all for show and tell for today. The weekend is starting soon and that is making ME have happy eyes !
