Give a Cheer
I love this Timepiece collection just about better than any I've ever had!! I love the color combo, it just speaks to me! This is my Dad I'm guessing just after WWII. He is coming over tomorrow and I hope he can pin the year down. TFL!
The passport and bicycle are nods to some things that I know about my Dad. He was in the ARmy so the passport represents his travels around the world. The bicycle is a laughing memory that my Mom talks about. When Dad was a young teen he used to ride by my Mom's house on his bike showing off. LOL, I love it!!
P.S. My Dad reckoned the photo was taken 1947 or 1948. The building in the back was my grandfather's country store that had a bedroom in the back and that is where my parents lived for a while after Dad came home from the war. Dad knows this picture was taken after he came home from the war because the little room you see in the photo is a bathroom that was added when he returned. Don't you love how we clue in on things to remember them? To have running water & indoor plumbing in rural NC in 1947 was pretty special. I remember when my Mother's parents got indoor plumbing and it was around 1960 give or take a year. I also remember when they got a telephone, and a party line at that. My grandmother's entertainment was to listen in on theparty line sometimes, LOL!! Secretly of course....
Thanks for spreading positivity!
