Whenever family came in from out of town, it was time to whip out a camera and snap a few pictures. Unfortunately, not everyone got in this snapshot (I for one, wasn't born yet). The occasion for the gathering was to celebrate my Aunt Ann, Uncle Steve and cousin, Ronnie's arrival from Connecticut on Jul 15, 1950, which took place at my Uncle Lenny's house.

What a fun photo. Besides FAMILY, it is a wonderful reflection of fashion and home decor of the day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wendy. It's not a perfect match to the challenge prompt, but it is a group of people and there seems to be plenty of patterns for sure!
DeleteSo happy to see such a great family gathering...it must have been hot, since so many of the men are in tee-shirts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara! Yes, mid-July in Chicago, I imagine it was pretty hot.
DeleteNeat photo of happily gathered family folk! Family reunions - if the family gets along well together as mine does - are so much fun with big hugs all around! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gail! Yes, get-togethers with family were fun...most of the time. LOL!
