A few weeks ago, Old Trunks offered a four generation picture and the author thought the baby was Brenda but it was Juanita! They are sisters.
Here we have Julia Rye, Ella Anderson, Shirley Hagen, and Brenda. IF one lays pictures of Brenda and Juanita side by side THEN you can see the difference! Don't you just love the way Shirley is holding her daughter's hand?
Brenda has a birthday coming up on the 13th of November. She will be 37. She and her husband, Ralph live in Embarrass, MN. She practices her nursing profession.
In sifting though pictures from her grandmother's, the sweetest pictures of Brenda were those of her bottle feeding a raccoon. I like the way she is paying attention to the child. Can't you almost imagine how she listens to the patients she cares for?
We all know that early pictures of our ancestors where taken with breath held. We know that when we look at our own pictures are mostly grouped-to-gether-take-a-picture type poses. Look at Brenda's picture again. Can you see how her personality is captured? Let's all try to take more pictures like this.
May I borrow your raccoon?
