“Who is Mama…expecting” | Grandma’s Stories

May 14th “Who is Mama…expecting”

This Photo is of course of “ME” – – but … the question for “ME” to try to figure out – – “WHO are we expecting?”

Sure – – do wish this PHOTO was just a little better – – as our faces just do not come in too clear. Mom’s face is so much younger than – – I can remember – – but of course – – I am so young on this PHOTO – – but… what I see is certainly a very young and happy face. My husband told me – – that when a woman is expecting – – she always has the face of an “ANGEL” – — and whatever he would say… “I believed!” Lee was older – – had more sense than me – – and always knew so much more than I did – – although there are lots of things – – I wish I could now remember more.

Here is another PHOTO – – Daddy is suppose to be taking my picture only – – – but – – in this shot also – – catches “MOM” on the right side of each PHOTO – – – NOW that I think of it – – wonder what such an accident like this… means? Could just mean that my “MOTHER” is always looking after my ‘good’ welfare in LIFE – – at all the ages of my LIFE – – and so NOW – when in my old age – – and “MOM and DAD” are already gone – – I will always have very ‘good memories’ – – to last a LIFE-TIME!

Just have to have a PHOTO of my “GRAND-MOTHER, ANNE E. Smart BRADY” – – and this PHOTO is terrific – – she is in the center – – looking pretty “spry” for a woman “WHO” had thirteen children and lived to be in her eighties.

On the right is my “Mother” to be some day – – as in this PHOTO she is very young – – and almost didn’t get on this this PHOTO – – had to do some work trying to get enough to half-way see Marie – – She almost looks like an ANGEL – – just hanging onto the arm of her MOTHER. On another post – – I believe that I have the name of the lady on the left – – can not remember all the particulars… at the moment.

I am glad though – – to have a MOTHER and DAUGHTER… “to be – – for me someday” – – as you can tell – – with the long dresses – – this is early 1900’s – – almost a hundred years ago. To me “Grandma” has the face of ENGLAND – – a very strong constitution – – did all of her own cooking and baking – – I was told everyone in the FAMILY came home on SUNDAYS for dinner – – and filled up for the week – –

Just thinking about those long dresses and several pet ti-coats – – and no air-conditioner – – – -you surly could not get fat. They sure did not need a “gym” to go to – – they worked from the early wee-hours – – til late at night – – more than a full days work done – – seems they were all in good shape, too!
