June – Time for a Picnic | Grandma’s Stories

Jun 2nd June – Time for a Picnic

Every year – in June we would come to Missouri from Florida – to visit with all our “northern families” – and one of the first “family get-to- gsthers” would be for a PICNIC! Someone has this property on a lake and plenty of space for all those who want to fish – and plenty of water for those who want to swim – and plenty of tables for the food to be set-up on and more tables to sit comfortably and eat – as you can see in this photo some of the kids are ready to start checking out their favorite foods – before they are all gone?

At this table in the black swim-suit is Cathy Stanley and looks like her children are helping her and with “water” so close – she is also able to keep an eye on the little girls. In the dress is Catherine Scott Aldrich, wife of Harry Aldrich (Aldrich Roofing Co. ) – and Harry, and Ralph Stanley and Lee Aldrich – are at the Bar-B-Que Pit – doing a “perfect job” of making sure all the meat is going to be what they call “Saint Louis Finest” – or better said “Finger-lickin’ good!” – My job taking pictures – because someday – not known then – for a time in the distant future – I’m letting the whoe -wide -world see what it used to be like – back in the day – when we were young and travelling!
