Move over Lady Gaga! I don’t know who “the author” is but a side of bacon is such a ridiculous costume! You guys still haven’t told me what you’re wearing for Halloween! (via)
At first, I thought he got 1st prize of 40 Guinness.

What are you dressing up as for Halloween? It’s time to start planning! I’ll be whipping out the ole hamster suit!

My mom started working at a bank in downtown Richmond, VA when she was 17 in the early 60s. Check out the pale lips and dark eyes. Love it! She’s on the right in the top pic.
Hope you enjoy one our last weekends of summer!

No pics from mom’s albums this week. Things have been so hectic! Hope you enjoy these cute kiddies and have a great weekend!

Sorry for the repeat post… my blog died and I had to get it restored to the last backup point. This post got lost so I’m doing it over again! (Some glitch with a code I installed.)
Here’s my grandmother and mom in 1950, hanging out while my grandfather worked on their new home in Mechanicsville, VA.
Have a wonderful weekend!

This is one of my mom’s boyfriends during the Vietnam era. I believe he even proposed. I figure you ladies wouldn’t mind checking him out!
Have a great weekend!

It’s almost midnight and I’m finally managing to squeeze in a pic for Friday. This week has just about ruined me. The weekend isn’t looking any better. Here’s to hoping you have a swell time! I want to walk a kitten on a leash.

This is my great grandmother May Belle Yoder Carneal. Horses were a big thing on my mom’s side of the family.
This is her daughter, my grandmother, Mary Warfield Carneal Eppers. The photo was taken at Layton’s Studio on 507 E. Broad Street in Richmond, VA. She was a little devil. She died shortly after I was born so I have no memories of her but, before I had ever seen any pictures of her, she came to me in a dream. Just sweetly checking in on me. Later, my mom got out all the pictures. When she showed me my grandmother I yelled, “I saw her! That lady was in a dream I had!” Of course my mom started crying. She always tells me how much we would’ve liked one another.
