Seventy Four Years Ago

What it says on the back of this photo is "On the beach Michigan City 1938." Mummy P. is 24 years old in this picture, and how about that smile and sun hat? If you look closely you can see the signs of an early pregnancy, with the perfectly healthy daughter she would give birth to but then lose after only one day.

The seldom photographed Poppy P. looks a lot older, doesn't he? But he was the same age as she. Plottie's got his chin, looks like Schmekl got the rest.

The Great Plotnik is wondering whether that's their car next to her elbow?

Think about the next 75 years that Mummy P.'s been witness to. Wow, what a photo.
