Show and Tell

I am participating in Mel's show and tell class this week. Head on over to the class and check it out.

I am showing and telling about some very old pictures that I have. Of my maternal Great and my Great Great, AND Great Great Great Grandparents. For Kayla, these would be her Great Great Great Great Grandparents. Pretty amazing if you ask me.

Here is a picture of my Great Great Great Grandfather, Charles, he is the older man in the picture holding the dog leash. Of course, the dog's name is Chief. I dont know when this is picture is from but I do know that is on Thanksgiving Day in front of their home in Enola, Pennsylvania.

Here is my Great Great Grandmother in 1929, from whom I get my Dutch descent from. Hazel Marie, born 1 Jan 1910 and passed away on 8 Dec 1973.

Next is her husband, my Great Great Grandfather. I dont know the year this picture was taken. His name, Wilson Russell, born in 1904 and passed away just 3 years before my birth, in 1981. Boy I wish he could have been here in 1984 when I was born. He is whom I get my Indian descent.

Next, is their daughter- My Great Grandmother- who Thank You Dear God is still alive and well in her almost mid 80's. Kayla will get to meet her during our trip to PA.

This is her, my Great Grandmother, Laverna Evadna when she was 2 years old.

And, here she is again with the neighbor's baby in 1950. The back of the picture says she is 12 years old, but she looks much older to me, so Im not sure.

And there you have it folks, my show and tell.

This week for my show and tell...
A little weird fact about me...
I like to walk through really old grave yards and read the tombstones. I like to read the names and the years people were born and died. Dont ask my why. I just think it's neat that a part of history is right below my feet. I wonder what this person looked like, what they been through in their life, what life was like back in the late 17 and 1800's to early 1900's.
For our 5th wedding anniversary, Aug 2007, Nick and I visited with his parents for a few days where I learned my mother in law enjoys this same weird thing too.
Here we are.

Like Mel, Im going to show and tell some oldies but goodies.
Here is me in 10th grade. After Nick left for the Air Force, I moved on and dated someone else 2 months later to try to forget Nick. (I know, bad move) I went with him to his Sr. prom that summer of 2000. I hated my hair. I was so unhappy with my hair this day. I thought it looked like an old lady's updo hair style.



And here is me, 3 years old in 1987.
