Here’s my story & I’m sticking with it!!!
Hidden journaling behind tag:
It was another rainy day at the beach…the kind of rain that
would go on all day. Grandma decided to bake my favorite gingerbread cookies
and I kept her company working on all the pictures she gave me.
I found one of the four sisters all dressed in their finest
summer whites, sitting for a formal portrait at the beach. Gosh…weren’t they hot, why would
you wear dresses to the beach?
As the afternoon went on I kept digging through the box of
photos and was so pleased with the treasures I found. I actually found pictures
of my aunties Tootsie, Mamie and Weezie in bathing dresses…still in dresses at
the beach. Then I found a photo of my Mom & her siblings…I would love to
know what they were laughing about. And then one of us.
Although time has marched on those 4 sisters were always at
the beach with us.

1st generation born in America. L to R. Adolf,
Emma & Sophia {my Mom}. Grandma & her 3 sisters would sit on the beach
and watch as they frolicked on the
beach, always properly dressed…do they ever go swimming?

Going to the beach was always a family affair…it was also a
daylong adventure that included a picnic lunch and dinner. It was 3 generations
enjoying the sand, sun and water.
We are the 2nd generation born in America {Grandma & her
family immigrated from what was once known as Loetzin, East Prussia in the
early 1900’s}. For some reason there are only 4 of us in the photo and I suspect
the 2 youngest were in baby carriages.
L. to R. Michael, Melinda, ME, & Michele…missing Mary & Mark.
There is still time to play along with this fun challenge and you can find all the details here.
