Favorite Picture Rerun - Pretty Girls

One of my very favorite pictures of my mother and her friends. I posted this not long after I started this blog in the summer of 2009 and think it is worthy of a rerun. Mom is the pretty girl on the far right in the big, floppy hat. The lovely girl in the middle shows up in quite a few of the Pearce pictures so must have been a good friend. The clothes and hats are just so pretty - and I wonder where they were going or had been. Maybe an outing on a Sunday to Glen Oak Park in Peoria where I think many people spent leisure time. Gentler days. Enjoy this sweet old photo. (Click to enlarge)

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
