The Good Old Days

These are taken from my mother's photo album captioned 1927.
This is the grandmother I didn't get to know although she was able to see me as a baby before she died and the greatgrandmother I did get to know and love before she died.
This is my father before their marriage with Mom on his right and her friend from nursing school on his left. I'm amused but not impressed by the styles.
Mother titled this one 'Making hay amongst the rocks of Peggy's Cove'. I note the ladies make hay in dresses which I find hard to imagine.
However, my mother, home on vacation from the fashionable U. S., is dressed in the very latest casual style and isn't she proud to show off the heights to which she has risen away from the backwards Nova Scotia.

I wonder how long it took to reach the US in those days!

I also enjoy the clothing! & Got a good laugh out of the one where they were making hay on a hill like that..as well as the dresses!
I used to have dreams that I was a part of the early 1900's.
Funny eh?
My mother was in nursing school before she married my dad. (in Holland)
Thanks for sharing.
