1. Thank You!

They were and they are beautiful women.

[MissHoneychurch]

2. thank you

the man in the wedding pic is my grandfather. He died in 1988. He still looked the same as elderly man.

[In_The_Wind]

33. Your grandfather was a handsome man.

They look like a very loving couple.

3. Beautiful, strong, lively women!

Lovely, MissHoneychurch! No wonder you always have a sparkle in your eyes. It's genetic! :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

5. ...

:hug:

and yes, both are strong women. They had to endure some stuff in their lifes.
The grandma from the second pic lived in Bohemia. They had to flee when the war was over.
The one in the first pic took care of her husband when he had cancer. She had him home till he died. She also lost her father after WW2 when he was taken away by the Russians.

4. Wow, MissHoneychurch! Thanks for the pictures!

My favorite is the first one -- it made me smile when I looked at it!

How are you, by the way? :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

6. I love that picture also

I "borrowed" it from my grandma some years ago (this one and a similar one). I gave it back to her at her b-day. I finally got around scanning it in.
I still have a pic from my mom as a young woman. She wants it back also. Darn. Guess I need to scan that one in too :D


I am doing fine. Looking forward to the weekend.

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

7. I'm looking forward to the weekend too.

Spending the day Saturday at the coast, and it's supposed to be cold but sunny, so it ought to be a good day! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. ok, I have other reasons to look forward to the weekend

:blush:

[SeattleGirl]

9. Ooooh, good for you!

:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. yeah, I can't wait

so please don't let anything get between it ....

[tjwmason]

11. Beauty is clearly a family trait

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. I hope I look as good when I am that old

thanks for the compliment :blush: .... I don't see myself as a beauty.

[tjwmason]

16. You most certainly are

especially in that most potent form of beauty - inner beauty. :loveya:

[NMMNG]

13. They certainly are beautiful women

It obviously runs in the family! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. oh Buffy

:blush:

and thank you in the name of my grandmas :)

[NMMNG]

15. You, and they, are quite welcome

:-)

[applegrove]

17. What a bunch of darlings! n/t

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Those darlings

are 80 and 85 years old :)

[applegrove]

19. Yes - they looked very young to me.

[DrDan]

20. those are great pictures

Isn't it a shame that we tend to forget that our grandparents were once so young and active - and good looking?

[MissHoneychurch]

21. I think it is always interesting to hear about their lives

my one grandma wrote down the history of her family as she remembers when she was a kid.

[DrDan]

22. that is a great idea

another is to tape a long conversation with them about their younger days -

[AirmensMom]

23. What great pics, MissHoneychurch!

Thanks for sharing them. They look mahvelous! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

24. they don't only look marvelous

they are :D

(ok, so I am a proud grandchild - who cares :D )

[AirmensMom]

26. Go ahead and be proud. :)

Grandmothers are special, and so are grandchildren. :)

[malta blue]

25. they are so beautiful

You are blessed to have such strong women in your family. The pictures brought tears to my eyes...

[MissHoneychurch]

27. yes I am blessed

to still have them both. My granddads died years ago.

[newyawker99]

28. They are both beautiful!

:-)

[bertha katzenengel]

Wonderful, wonderful!

Thank you. :hi:

[cleofus1]

29. hey in that first picture

that looks just like a coyote fence in the background! shades of santa fe!

[swimboy]

30. A truly amazing set of photographs

of undoubtedly amazing women. I marvel at how time records the events of our lives on our faces. I'm old enough now to sometimes get a presentiment of how a young person is likely to look when they have aged or to capture a glimpse of the youth in an elder's face. Thank you for sharing these with us!

[jane_pippin]

31. Beautiful photos (and beautiful ladies too). The first looks like it could

be the cover of a book.

Write a book about your grandmas so you can use it. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

32. I love that picture also

it is one of my favorites of her.

[bigwillq]

34. Nice pics!

Thanks for sharing! :hi:

[no name no slogan]

35. Great pics MsHC!

Thank you for sharing those! Both of my grandmothers are gone now-- I lost my last one nine years ago this month. She was like a second mother to me, as I spent so much time with her as a child. I was also her first grandchild, and was probably her favorite, too (don't tell my cousins, though :evilgrin:)
