My Mother and her Brother Robert c. 1925

My Uncle Robert on a Tricycle in Durand Illinous
Spring 1917.
Durand Illinois.
From my grandmother’s album
My mother’s brother, Robert, holds a lamb.
Our Uncle Harold brought this doll to my sister in 1947. Mary was in Kindergarten. He was in the US Navy.
He brought the doll back from Naples.
She was a souvenir doll, not a play doll.
A couple of days ago, I put her in Mary’s NYC apartment window and photographed her from different angles.
Her straw hat wouldn’t stay on her head and I didn’t want to force it.
As I took her photo, her eyes seemed to follow me and I moved her around to try and get a good pose and shot.
Have you ever noticed how something inanimate can feel it has a life?
You remember Uncle Frank and his vintage cars? Aunt Linda and the making of the nut rolls?
Today is Aunt Linda’s birthday and thought I’d surprise her with a birthday greeting on the blog with a photo of the two of them.
I’m still vacationing in Ohio with the family so went into the archives for today’s post.
