Paw and Granny, Churnie, Harry, and Bub
This was probably taken around 1927. My dad is the first child in front of my hunky grandpa. Granny was a little cutie, too.
I didn’t think either one of them was much to look at when I was a tot going down to Paw and Granny’s for Christmas with the rest of the cousins. Granny was just the cook, and Paw was just a good-natured grandpa. But as I look at the pictures of their younger days, well, they were downright handsome folk.
Farmers and grocers and traders by heart; lovers of family and children and fun by soul; and entrepreneurs by mind. They come from the ancient Scottish Rutherford clan as well as the ancient Scott clan through Rhoda Scott, my granny.
Interesting.

And someday our children’s children will look back at (digital???) pictures of us and possibly say the same.
Was this picture taken on their farm, do you know?

Yes, it was taken on their farm. We have several pictures of the home place. I’m going to put some more on just because I love them!

It’s so much to look at pictures of the gramps and realize. “Hey they had a life and they were hotties.”

I love seeing pics of when people were in their prime, so to speak. I have a black and white head shot of my dad from the 20’s when he came out to Hollywood and one of my mom when she was 21 in the 30’s. I brought out her photo when she was 85 to show her new ‘beau’ and he barley looked at it and said she is still a beautiful woman today. I learned a big lesson from that one statement.
Thanks for being part of the cupcakes give-away. It’s always nice to have you visit. xoxo. 🙂

Ah, that is a big lesson. I have a friend who teaches me things like that all the time. It’s still fun to look at days gone by as we plug away into the future.

I’ve never seen this picture. Dad’s not in it so I assume he wasn’t born yet. Everyone, me included, thinks Ginnie looks like Granny but l can’t believe how much I look like her in this picture.

Yes, you do!!! I’ll do another little story on them with another pic and see if you’ve seen it.
