For women's history month, I'll share some ancestor women...of whom I think the one on the far left standing next to the car, might be my ex-husband's mother.
These were theatrical friends who visited her at her parents home in Michigan. They just took over that old Model-A, which had a crank to turn the motor over. I'm only guessing what model the car was...can't tell much.
Another young woman demonstrates that having a motor helps one drive a two wheeler scooter as well.I don't know where I saw this, but it's something I had to grab!
A slightly more recent woman performer, cowgirl, Dale Evans. She was Roy Rogers' wife and side-kick for their rodeo shows. Her horse was named Buttercup, while Roy's was Trigger.
Sharing this post on Sepia Saturday this week! I hope some others with sepia photos can come closer to the prompt photo below.
Update on health...have had two bad days with bronchiectasis outbreaks, coughing very tiring. Mucous is not happy, and I can't seem to get clear. I can sit with my feet up, and am not taking the new "water" pills since Sunday when I took just one. Had Dr. visit in pulmonology, with support for what I'm doing (taking antibiotic already, which would be a good treatment if I did have pneumonia, but I don't) and may get a specimen of mucous to give them. The rash on my face has finally cleared up (it's called mask rash). Going to get compression socks to help with feet swelling. I'm thrilled that I had the energy to vacuum yesterday. Maybe tomorrow I'll have energy to do a walk. But the blood pressure has been pretty high for the last couple of days too. I'll have blood drawn on Fri. and maybe can ask the nurse there.
Today's quote:
If only the sun-drenched celebrities are being noticed and worshiped, then our children are going to have a tough time seeing the value in the shadows, where the thinkers, probers, and scientists are keeping society together. -Rita Dove, poet (b. 28 Aug 1952)
