Aunt Irene and Girl-Friends!
This picture is “One Hundred Years Old” and as you can see “Lucky” to have survived this long – as no one has taken very good care of these old pictures?
Aunt Irene is on the right and in the white dress – the other ladies I do not know – but these ladies each month, hold their meetings – so that each lady has all the others – for an afternoon of “good eats” and “card playing” – and with prizes to win – and I know each of the ladies tries to out do the other! Remember, back in these “good ole days” the women stayed at home while the husband went out to work! There was no “TV” and not much in radio – so, if a lady was tired of needle-work and sewing – and crocheting and knitting and the such – may as well learn how to play cards!
Aunt Irene was a terrific player of Canasta – Bridge – Pinochle and I have several decks of her old cards – so if I would have the time to play cards – maybe I would be “LUCKY” – using her cards?
