Family photos from the 1940s

Here is a selection of family photos my grandma and I were going over the other day. They'll take you to France in the late 1940s /early 1950s. Beautiful people, really, without whom I would not have come to this world 34 years ago today.



Grandma in her 20s - love the post war fashion.


My grand parents at their engagement party.


Still at the engagement party, my grand parents, their parents, and my great-great-grandma.


My great grandpa was a cattle trader, much loved and respected in his community. What a handsome man!


Choosing the cow for the competition.


Talking business?


Day at the beach.


Forward to the late 70s: my mom and me, when I was blond and curly.
