This shot is mysterious to me–somehow she looks modern. I love hanging up laundry, and also looking at photos of other women doing it!

This is the sort of picture that makes me feel something SO deeply…without ever fully understanding why…except for the history and the way we’re all still the same no matter how many years have gone by.
Love it.

Gretchen, you should check out this website: http://www.shorpy.com/ It’s got tons of old photos on it, and it reminded me of the photos you’ve been posting of your family. They have a section for readers to submit photos; maybe you’d like to submit some of yours. I think they’d love the one of your grandma walking down the street.
She’s beautiful! I wish I felt that happy doing laundry, and I have a dryer!
DARLING! I want that dress! She does seem so happy.

What a beautiful photo. I love how she’s holding the sleeve.
I love the photo but can’t help but think of the ironing she is yet to endure.

And I complain about laundry?
Love that picture.

What a lovely candid shot. Usually photos of that era are so posed and stiff.
I, too, want that dress! She’s beautiful 🙂
Chores would be so much more fun if we wore dresses like that while doing housework. How can you not smile when you look that lovely.
It is so cool that you have these old photos!!
She is lovely =) What a wonderful smile and a beautiful dress!
sigh. So very very beautiful.
