My grandparents, Edna and Dan, were married in 1938. In 1939 they traveled from St. Louis to Indiana to visit Edna's family there. I love the photos from this trip--I'm guessing Edna took most of them--as they have such a dreamy, summery feeling.
Also, these gals wore some really cute dresses!

DeleteGoregous photos K. Such treaures!
ReplyDeleteI love the dress and hair of the lady in the fourth photo and that menu is fantastic but I do have a question… can you just order cream cheese by itself??
T, I was kind of wondering about that, too...and also the "brick cheese" on the menu. I'm thinking maybe they're sandwiches.
DeleteI just love the photo of your Grandpa Dan in his boater! He really was rocking it. It's fabulous that you've got these photographs. Thanks for sharing!
