Day ten brought in four generations of mothers and daughters and a couple husband came along, too. My favorite part of our initial conversation was when I asked the oldest couple (90 and 93 years old/60 years of marriage) how they met.
The grandfather: For some reason I went to a dance in the Winder ward and guess who was there. And I used to take her to 10 cent picture shows during the depression. I didn’t have the ten cents, so I sneaked in. They had the picture shows there. Ten cents. And I had to sneak in. And I got to see most of the picture shows. So we met at a dance hall at the Winder ward and I thought she was pretty good looking.
The grandmother: Well I had a polka-dot dress on at that time.
The grandfather: She knew my weakness, a polka dot dress. And so she tricked me into marrying her with a polka dot dress. And if I tell you any more, you’ll know more about it than I do.

I love that story. What a beautiful bunch of women. As always, you did an amazing job!
Thanks to the dress, now she’s got all these beautiful polka dotters! (groan)
I’ve always thought Michelle was so, so, so stunning. A classic American beauty with her blonde hair and blue eyes.
Looks like it’s hereditary.
I love these pics!
