While Lucy, Malkie and Ryan are up to high doe about the forthcoming road trip in America, their grandmother is much more sanguine. Pictures have emerged of the road trip Mrs. D was on in the West Coast with her sister Mrs. T
Well, that’s no road trip I hear you say… but here’s the rig
It started off in the forests of Oregon
And ended up on the shores of the Pacific
It was a time when trucks were trucks
And ladies didn’t drink
However, it was also a time when the skies were blue
And those who are travelling now, and whom we are travelling to see, weren’t even a twinkling in their parent’s eye
(although there may be some resemblance)
And when were these pictures taken? Well, Mrs D is celebrating her 103rd birthday on Friday 27th April 2012, the day before we fly out to Oregon. She was 61 when these pictures were taken. You work it out…
Many thanks to Lyn who came round one night with these brilliant photos. How fortunate to still have these pictures of her Granny and my Granny, who were close sisters. It puts the trip into a family perspective, which is odd, considering how far away from home we are going…
fabulous post! oh for blue skies and prohibition! have a great trip!
Wow – great photos! As you say Ryan – it sounds like you’re following in your Granny’s footsteps. Bon voyage – can’t wait to see the updates & pics. Big hugs – wishing you all a safe & happy trip x
