I found this little book on my shelf.
Inside is the name of a dear family friend and the year is 1936.the place name inscribed is Inveraray, which is home to the Duke of Argyll
I look up a couple of surnames. My great grandmother on my paternal side was Rosa Kerr.
So what to do with this little book?
I put it back on the shelf.
Throwback Thursday from the archives.
I was trying to get a photo of the three grandkids in 2005.
I let them press the shutter release button on the cable.
All three of them will be in high school this fall. ( Well, in a couple of weeks! )
That’s the only real detail I know, as told to me by my Aunt Rhea.
Grandmother Charlotte Van Sickle had what was called then a “nervous breakdown” as far as I could decipher. The woman in the floral dress came to help . Aunt Rhea said she was her nurse.
Not sure of her nursing credential .

A Photo with names written on the back
(In one of those awful sticky pages photo albums, the type that ruin the photographs)-
Throwback Thursday.
This photo has to be taken in the late sixties. My sister’s cat on her lap- Morgan le Fay. I don’t remember our mom being particularly fond of cats. Her parents were avid birders.
I did a transfer of the photo onto watercolor paper in a class I took.
My sister and I were just saying wish we hadn’t discarded those slip covers. Slip covers were popular years ago. The yellow was much brighter in person. And a bold black stripe.
