Ed and Bea got married.A while back I made this collage out of a few of my favorite photos of them. They're favorites because they look so real to me compared to some pictures from that era. And since I didn't know my grandparents when they were young, I like to think these pictures give me a small glimpse into who they were as a couple. I love Grandpa's rolled up sleeves and the cigarette between his fingers. And Grandma with her hand on her hip... or maybe her hand is on his. I can almost hear her laughing and saying, "Oh Ed..." Love the way they're holding hands in the picture in the top left and the way he's looking at her in the photo on the bottom left. Looks like she's wearing an old housedress and her hair is kind of a mess but he's looking at her like she's just the cutest thing ever. And I love the one on the bottom left most of all because it always makes me imagine what their real life might have been like... just hanging out on the couch, both reading magazines, looking totally comfy (except for those shoes Grandma's wearing.) I remember my dad telling me that he was practicing his photography at the time and this was a long exposure. He told them they'd have to sit still for a long time so he told them to get comfortable and it looks like they did. --- Dione

78 years later, these pics are wonderful, thanks! I remember the glass coffee table shown in the photograph at the bottom right. By then, it had been moved to the "den" on McBryde and we kids drank 7-Up right out of green glass bottles on it during family parties. (Dione, that was before Soda Cans were Invented, in the Olden Days.)
