donna and i got to talking about grandparents and the like. she showed me a picture of her amazing-looking grandma in latvia(?). they made a giant vat of jam together outside.
if i could do ONE THING that broke the laws of time and space, i would have dinner with my four grandparents when they were in their mid-twenties or early-thirties. i bet they were spectacular. i can only imagine.
i can't for the life of me find the picture dad sent me of grandma h with her fur and the snow... i know it is somewhere on this computermachine, but i have no idea where. but i do have this fantastic shot of grandma-grampa o. so. here you go.
grandma o flew to edmonton for mom-and-dad's wedding anniversary party with a hat on her lap. because it was a 70's themed costumed event. (as they were married in the 70's. obviously.) so. the hat HAD to attend the party. it was stellar.
update! already?! yeah! found grandma h. looking stunning. in 1949.

Oh, yes, to have dinner with ones' grandparents in their mid-forties: Dad's parents had 15 children by then. Imagine the conversation.
Awesome pictures. I had the Olds, but not the Gamble. I love how you can see our faces in Kay, and our spirit in the Olds.
But, if you went to that dinner, would you tell them who you were, or just go anonymously?
whoa! yeah! i hadn't thought about that. if i told them who i was, they'd probably want to hear all about ME, and that isn't the point. so maybe i would just be a person. a random.
also, hadn't thought about why the four of them would be together. what with the completely separate parts of the canada being home. i'll have to work on this magic-dream-wish.
I hadn't seen that pic of Grandma H before - where did you find that one???
Dad found it when they were cleaning up her house. He's got it digitized... Pretty amazing, hey? She's our GRANDMA!?
