This is Catherine and Hopkin. They were my Dad&#8217;s Dad&#8217;s Mother&#8217;s relatives. I only know that because they had the same last name as she did.

I have a number of photos of family from this era and without exception, everyone is looking at the camera with this same mixture of defiance and resignation. It was perhaps a sign of a lack of moral fiber to smile when having one&#8217;s photograph taken. I actually feel much the same way when having my picture taken now, so I understand how they felt.<\/p>\n<p>The sun will not shine and it is too wet to play, so I will stay in the house all this cold cold wet day.* I have some fun that is funny though &#8211; some stuff to bake, a big pot of spaghetti sauce to make and some photos to edit for next week and we are having company for dinner later on so I guess I ought to clean up a little.
