Nostalgic Saturday

I was sorting through some old family photos that were taken circa the mid 1950s of my grandparents home in Miami Springs, Florida.

The photo you see above was not labeled, and I thought I really should add some sort of identification to it. The house was sold in the mid 1970s and when I am no longer around my kids would have no way of knowing where this house is/was nor who had owned it, or why we even have the pic in our collection etc.

This has happened to me with a few of my Dad's old photos from before he met my Mom. Since he passed away in 1999 I have no way of identifying certain people or places, and it can be a bit frustrating as I would love to know who they were or why a photo was taken at a certain spot.

Here is a pic of my Mother

...also circa mid 1950s. My parents spent a lot of time in Miami, Florida during those years. On a side note, I adore the more glamorous look of bathing suits, dresses, and female clothing in general from the 40s through the early 60s.

Hope you are all having a great weekend, and thank you for stopping by!

Also big thanks as always to Abbey for putting together this fun meme. Why not join in?! :D
