hmmm… what?
a couple of generations anyway
24Sep2009 Filed under: Days Go By Author: ValSo here are a few photos from meeting my great-great-aunt the other night!
She’s a very lovable and interesting woman, very full of life and in great health at just shy of 94. I wish we had more time to spend with her before she had to jet back across the country. But unfortunately for me, I have to share her and she has more family to meet. Grandpa is keeping her pretty busy. My mom keeps saying that he is going to wear her out, that she’s 93, but I dare say he’ll be the one worn out first!
So, great-great aunt means she is my great-grandfather’s sister. In case you didn’t know that!
The only other photos I have of her, until now, are ones a distant cousin sent. She’s the lady in the polka dot dress and my grandpa is the kid in front!
It’s too bad we won’t be able to get a photo like this while she’s here. This photo has, of course, my grandpa, his parents, his dad’s parents, his dad’s dad’s mom and his dad’s mom’s mom! So we have in this photo my grandpa, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, and two great-great-great-grandmothers. How awesome is that?

That must’ve been very interesting! She looks far younger than her age. That must make you feel good about your own future!

She seems so sweet – and young! So great you got to meet her and talk some with her, I know you love gathering stories about earlier days. And having a great great aunt is so cool!!
