“One MORE for the ROAD” | Grandma’s Stories

Aug 2nd “One MORE for the ROAD”

Since it was Lee Aldrich’s … BIRTHDAY on the FIRST of AUGUST – and I like to celebrate someone’s BIRTHDAY for a week – – just have to add one more PHOTO – and this PHOTO includes… MOTHER, Louise Aldrich- Stanley and she is sitting on the right – – in the grouping below.

Next to LOUISE… is one of her younger sons’ AL ALDRICH – – and he is pointing to me… as he is telling my son, Lee Jr. – to smile for the camera. The camera that I have and learning “HOW” to use is a “Polaroid” Land Camera… that would take the photo and would develop inside and as you pulled the tab – advancing to the next photo to be made – – you would lift the picture door – lift out picture and apply a liquid coater – – share the finished PHOTO – and they were all terrific – – a real memory maker… something “new then” – -but now obsolete.

Sitting on the floor, my husband, LEE Sr., and leaning on him is Donald Aldrich and almost not in this photo is Thomas Aldrich – – and from the grins and smiles on all of the faces – – sure must be telling some good stories.

Something about living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida – – we would always have FAMILY and FRIENDS stay with us for a few days – and with living within a mile of the OCEAN – – we always had a nice time getting a tan- – just spending TIME laying in the warm “SUNSHINE” watching the nice waves of the OCEAN rolling in and making a real nice back drop for taking PHOTOS – – as usually… everyone wants to return up NORTH – – with an award winning and the best looking “SUN- tan” – ever.
