chelle said...: I love this pic....when you showed it to us the other day, I was thinking that it looked like something my grandmother had worn....and that would be right around the same time frame....so how cool is that!; January 24, 2010 at 9:07 AM
Moose said...: I wish we still had bathing suits like that! Much less anxiety!
When I first read your comment I thought 'well I guess Zack can have all of the margaritas he wants' then I realized I left him out! He was in at one point so I checked him off the list but doggies moved around a lot once they all showed up so it was hard to keep track and I guess he got lost in the shuffle! I added him now and wanted to let you know he is definitely coming along. Sorry he did not make the first try!; January 24, 2010 at 9:10 AM
How Sam Sees It said...: I love looking at old photos - the different styles are great!

Unknown said...: Nice photo! I love their bathing suits. I think the world would be a better place if humans covered up more at the beach. Have you seen those new string bikinis? I sure wouldn't wear one. Tsk tsk

Taffy said...: Terrific photo! I've noticed everyone's comments about wishing bathing suits were more like that and less like, well, nothing and I do agree. The other thing I noticed is that your aunts aren't skin and bones. Yay for them! They are real women!

Betsy Banks Adams said...: Oh how neat... 1918 huh???? My Mom and Dad got married in 1919.. Daddy had been to the Navy and came home and asked Mama to marry him.. She was 11 yrs. younger.. They were married 49 yrs. when Dad died in 1969. He died in May and their 50th anniversary would have been in Sept. that year. Mom lived til she was 91 yrs. old and died in 1991..

Love the old pictures...
