Do you know anyone who wears this cut? I was looking through old photographs, and came across this one of my grandfather. I realized that this is/was a popular hairstyle. Except this one was done around 1914, likely with a straight edge and not clippers. What do you think @kingcutzbarbershop ?

This is an image of Edith (Wilbur) Thomm, (1890-1972), my great-aunt.

I travelled 3,500 miles in August 2021 hoping to discover family photo treasures.

This photo was buried in an album with some photos from the 1964 Wilbur family reunion.

Aunt Edie led a colorful life: she married three times, loved dressing up and wearing costume jewelry.

Making that trek to unearth this image was worth every mile travelled!

When families need downsizing, organizing or right

When families need downsizing, organizing or rightsizing support where do they turn? They can recruit me to help them get sorted out. Organization for a move is one of my many powers. Scheduling pre and post holiday projects.

Seeking #affordablehousing when you are #90yearsold can truly take the wind out of your sails. #maybeshesdepressed
Everyday we are in the phone and internet looking for answers. With #housingshortages ,few #marioncountyfl #housingalternatives and overwhelmed #resourceagencies, no wonder a #napisonthehorizon . #elderparentconcerns #90yearoldproblems #fallingthroughthecracks #biggerproblems #wheretoland #champagnetastebeerbudget #cantafford1200rentthanks
It is hard not to worry and realize how little advocacy there is for #independentelders
I have similar concerns myself, but I’m not 90.

I pulled over to take a second look at this sign, thinking maybe I had missed seeing coat of arms on signs nationwide. Turns out I hadn’t. A single arch sign with the McDonald’s crest (x2) in Warren Michigan. Supposedly there are only 10 of these original signs remaining, though this one isn’t in the list I’d research.
Is it eleven?

So many parts of my Mom’s move are heart-wrenchi

So many parts of my Mom’s move are heart-wrenching. The lack of tenderness as my Mom goes through photo albums confuses me. My head translates her lack of caring and pure anger into hard heartedness. As we both grow older she rails because I am tender & “too nice”. I have to agree when she accuses me of being nicer than she is. After all these years you’d think I would learn.
The hardest lessons rattle me..

If pictures could talk, what would they say? Get the story about great-grandpa, the widower, when he put on his courting’ clothes. Not your story? Do tell!

Large cyanotype fabric medallion with bias tape pinned in place. Stabilized the print with fusible backing. Considered quilt batting but decided this was the best choice.

Old Florida, outdoor pulpit for services overlooke

Old Florida, outdoor pulpit for services overlooked by a nearby palm tree & three wooden crosses. Needed a filter to make it pop from the shadow of the nearby tree.
Have driven by many times and finally had time to stop.

Serendipity. I met a couple who restore cuckoo clocks by listing one for sale: downsizing 75 years of accumulation for my Mom. They said it’s one of their couple activities. Each of them have a favorite type of clock. I’ve arranged to see their “5 Foot Cuckoo” in person. Never would have happened if it weren’t the right place and right time. .

Pretty much true. As soon as I could ride my bike

Pretty much true. As soon as I could ride my bike to the neighbors, I did. Every neighbor would get a visit sometime in the month. Photos, stories, dreams were shared during those visits.
Yep. “Coaxing the story out of you since 1964.”
I think it’s your turn to share.
