Pictures you didn't take

[glatt]

This is my grandfather's mom. Her name was Francis. She died in 1943 when she was 77 years old.

I just got my hands on this picture going through my cousin's stuff after he died. I think it's an awesome picture. You know she is just doing a typical chore. She went out on the porch, where the light was a little better, and had a pile of socks to darn. Was probably looking forward to this chore because she can take it easy and enjoy the day as she does it. I have no idea who took the picture. Probably some other family member. I guess it was taken in the 1920s or 1930s. It's hard to judge her age here because life was hard back then, and wore a person down. Maybe this picture is even older than that.

I wish I knew her. I bet she had some stories to tell.
