Family history


This photo was taken in 1930.  My grandmother is the gal in the front with the cute striped socks.  Her (my) family was very poor during the depression.  This photo was taken on a road trip her and the family took from Michigan to Oregon.  They had 7 break downs including flat tires and engine trouble.  They also picked up a dog and had a bed fall out the back.  My grandmother wrote a diary along the trip which I just had a chance to read, it was so lovely to hear a few words along the way.
