I found this old picture of my mother with my oldest sister. This would have probably been taken while my Dad was still overseas but not certain. It just struck me as how simple but hard things were back then.
You capture the memory well in just a few simple lines of well placed words. Well done. I agree that it was simple and hard at the same time. Just getting enough to eat was an issue for my gramma and my Mom.

Yes, harder lives back then. People seemed stronger back then, no? We're so pampered now. I had no power for 2 1/2 days just now, due to freezing rain. I got a taste of old fashioned life; cooking soup over a woodstove, using the light of day, and keeping warm by the fire. They must have treasured books back then! Great write, Fee.

Very sweet. The wash on the line reminds me of my dad's frozen long johns--my mom would put them by the heater in the parlor to dry. They were so frozen they stood alone.
Your picture is a treasure.

There's such beauty and peace in simplicity, and it's there we find the real things that matter in life-you showed this here, a wonderful dedication to your family. I love the old photo, but then, i have a thing for old photos, lol.
What a wonderful picture and poem. Things were simpler and didn't fast forward at the speed of light. What a treat going down to Auntie's was. Awesome. Liz
A nice moment to capture both in photograph and in words. Times were much simpler, and even though difficult, they would be welcome in these crazy times that we face. Nice piece of nostalgia Fee! Hugs, Elizabeth
So lovely a write and picture them all going in to Aunt Annie's for a cup of tea. It was so uncomplicated back then, hard but compliacated. Great pic and great write. Love, Bonnie
Beautiful memories are meant to be cherish

Yes good old simple days we didn't have much
But we were a happy family
Peace be with you
We seem to have so many things going on at once. It's nice to reflect about the good old days. I am an amateur genealogist, and I love to look at old photos like that one.
Sweet. What great memories old photos will bring... I was sent a CD by one sis that has so many great pix's on it... some I wouldn't show to anyone...but some that just brought so many wonderful, sad, and mixed memories... nice writing... lindalaw
