But: I do have to say that I did LOVE what was written on the back of the photo from your Granny years ago: "We were all rather high by this time." (i.e., the beer!) LOVE IT!!!! Your Granny is a girl after my own heart! LOL! (Although I don't care for beer, I'd match her a beer for a Rye & Coke! LOL!)<br />Best,<br />GloriaGloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089446185793581415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-24168483401090267212012-05-20T12:09:43.259-07:002012-05-20T12:09:43.259-07:00What a great group of photos!
