Meet my Great Grandmother :) I think I'm the final sister to post her on our blogs but really I added her for the benefit of Sun and Lou and any other overwhelmed mothers who might be reading. She scrapbooked this picture herself, long before Picassa and Snapfish and archival safe adhesives. I love the determination on her face as she's hauling across the yard with a football-like child tucked under her arm! I'd hate to be that kid when they arrived where ever they were going! Our favorite part of the picture is the caption she added underneath:
"GO RIGHT BACK AND LET ME ALONE!"
Yep- ask any of the men in our family- this is where we get it :)

This picture is one of the greatest black and whites I have ever seen. Do you know who took it? That person deserves a metal for capturing something we can all relate to in some form or another. Ha, ha! Do you even know how refreshing it is to see that football-tucking a toddler under your arm is a time-honored tradition that spans generations. This. Is. Awesome.
I loved seeing this! I wish more of my ancestors (even my mom) had taken time to document the every day things about life including discipline and funny experiences. Your great-grandma rocks.
