C by the Sea: Nana

December 05, 2008

Another oldie...

Came across this picture of my father and his parents. My father was born in 1918, so I'm guessing this was taken about 1923. He looks about five years old or so to me. I think it's funny that my grandmother is holding five birds of some type or the other. Who knows why? And, how about that striped skirt she's wearing?

Anyone see any family resemblances?
