Before they were grandparents, they were horsing around.
My grandmother was always owned horses. And it’s clear, from this photo at least, that she was a typical little girl who loved those animals. This photo is from, I believe, a summer parade that my grandmother rode in with her cousin. A local fireman is holding the reins as they pose.
Before they were grandparents, they were riding in style.
I love this photo of my grandmother - she was such a fashionable lady. And the fact that her car was enormous just makes me laugh.

Before they were grandparents, they took to the field.
