My grandfather and grandmother. The photo is dated October 13, 1938, and is in an album that my grandmother called “Of Ourselves By Ourselves.” (Hm, there’s a certain Sinn Féin ring to that.) My aunt posted the photo to Facebook and we have all just stopped in our tracks to appreciate it. They both look so happy, so together. I love my grandparents.
What a handsome couple! Sheila, do you look like your grandmother? I definitely seem to see a resemblance.
I love the name of the album!
I always thought I took after the O’Malley side more. At least in terms of hair volume. My hair is very thin. All the Sullivans, and my mother, and my 3 siblings have masses of thick beautiful hair.
But the young photos of my grandmother like this … I definitely see myself there too!
And yes I love the album title!! They were a very good match. Lots of laughter!
