Old, Family photos

[Denise1952]

Here's a few from my grandmother's side, and the one of the cabin was taken in Bonners Ferry Idaho. My sis thinks that is on my mom's side, but I didn't know any of her family lived there. I knew my dad did. It seems my ancestors were as nutty as me, lol That group of elves (my grandmother, top row, 3rd from left) at Christmas time, at least I think that's what's going on, it could be a meeting of witches in Salem for all I know, LOL! My grandmother and her sisters are the clowns with the cigars. Those photos were taken in Victoria, and if anyone knows Victoria well, this was near there home/property that is now a small park called William Rivers Park

Both those pics are neat Pam! Wow, a street party, just like they still have those "block" parties in some neighborhoods

Can't quite read the date on back of street party photo but it looks like 1935 or 36. I am guessing 1935 to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of George V. We have a tradition of street parties for things like that, any excuse to party. The most recent one I went to was the Queen's Diamond Jubilee (2012) which my youngest son's partner helped organise. We had a great day on the green outside their house.

That just sounds amazing, I so want to come there one day. A friend and I are saving dollars (literally, lol) but we plan to go somewhere. You never know!!

I was looking through the photos and my family photos are the only ones that look like the Adams Family or something LOL! Oh well, maybe that's why we all laughed so much, and I still do I'm still going through ours, my sis and I have a card-table set up so we can sort, and view etc. here's one I had scanned, at Winchester Bay, OR. My Grandparents took my little bro and I often Biker days w/Frank, my X, Grandma and her sisters, me ready to walk in the parade w/Tinker in Winston Oregon Melon Festival
