Before they were grandparents, they were lovebirds.
One compliment we receive on a regular basis for our Tumblr is the display of love in these photos. Whether it’s a large family photo, or a one-on-one portrait, we don’t mind saying there is a certain excitement and joy felt when we post those submissions. Today’s photo is no exception, coming to us from Pat K., a fan who wanted to share this beautiful photo of his grandparents on Valentine’s Day.
Many of our submission are sent through email, but when we receive submission through Tumblr, we like to link and give credit to the source. Thank you to everyone who has submitted photos to this project - we couldn’t do this without you!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Before she was a Grandmother, she was one of the gals.
This is a photo from the early 1960’s of my Gram (Top Right), her mother (Center Right), her best friend (Bottom Left), and just a few of her sisters. I’ve been told that this was supposed to be a serious picture, until someone laughed, which set off a chain reaction. Out of 21 brothers and sisters, there are only 5 who are still living. She was all about family. Family matters, and family comes first. My Gram will forever be my favourite person, and my favourite Skip-Bo opponent. Love you, Gram.

Before they were grandparents, they were pipers.
My grandmother Beryl Jackson was a member of the CWAC femail pipeband that toured Europe during WWII. She has some remarkable stories to share, and best of all we found this website that has video capturing them playing.
