Great grandmother, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.Beautiful can mean something pleasing to the eye or better yet, to the heart. I always loved this photo of my maternal grandmother, the little baby here. Both Ruth, my mom-mom and her mother Caroline lived to be in their 90s. The little girl, Ethel Grace, died from pneumonia at age 7. My great grandmom had 6 children and another daughter Edna, who also lived to be in her 90s. I love how my great grandmom looked so pleased to have these little girls as she had trouble conceiving when she was first married. They are beautiful to me.
And the winner of my 4th Anniversary Blog giveaway is….drumroll…

That’s a gorgeous photo – you’re so lucky to have it! I have a few photos of my grandparents, but none from before they were married in the early 30s.
Great photo and it looks well preserved.
Have a wonderful weekend!
