I was scanning an old album of photographs I have yesterday, and I decided to try and inspire some of you to do the same by posting a few photographs of my grandmother and my grandfather with me when I was a little girl. These pictures brought back the feelings I had as a little girl for my grandparents. Although I have only vague memories of my grandfather who died in May, 1957, when I was almost five, looking at these pictures reminded me of how much time I spent with him as a small child. My grandparents lived right near us in Parkchester until we moved to Elmsford in January, 1957, just a few months before my grandfather died. I must have seen them almost every day. We also spent summers together in a rented cottage on Long Pond near Mahopac, NY. Here are a few of those photographs.

Love the photos. The first one (in the bonnet) looks like Maddy.

Thanks, and yes, I can see some similarities to Maddy as a baby. (Let me know if you see the comment and my reply.)

Great pictures. I was only two when Grandpa died so I don’t remember him at all. Your expression in the second to last one reminds me of Nate. Great pictures. Never realized how short Grandpa was.

I think the short genes carry through to this day. Except for Steven and Ben Robin. They must have gotten the tall genes from their other side!

Wonderful photos Amy, thanks much. We are now back from Italy – an absolutely wonderful trip – and i’ll have to search for photos that I can scan and send to the blog. B

I’d love to hear about your trip—I love Italy! And yes, please send pictures! 🙂 (I was trying to be subtle without nagging, but I am glad you got the message. I hope the others did as well.)
