A Rare Photo of All Six Blood Siblings


As far as I know, this photo taken on a family picnic, probably up Northfork, is the only known photo of all six Blood siblings before I left home.  Not a great photo, but a rare one.

The companion photo taken on this outing, which I took.  The younger generation looks extremely grouchy.  Note matching skirts.  These may have been posted before, but I thought we might like to look at them together for the fun of it.

In the top photo, Dwight has angel glow all about him. But what an important photo since there are few, if any, other of him at this age. Steve is demonstrating great cooperation. And Ann is sandwiched in between.
This outing was a big deal since we were wearing our Sunday clothes in the middle of the week.

I have a few photos of myself taken by others after I got my Baby Brownie, but I don't know of another picture of all six of us, or even of me with any of the other siblings. Sad thing I didn't get Mom to come out and take a picture of all six of us the day we took off in Grandpa's truck to go to church and had to turn around and come home after going a little ways for an unremembered reason, and I lined you all up in the iris. One of the four or five best pictures we ever had.

Judy, dear, This was one of those rare Sundays when we took off after Sunday School with a yellow cake in the black cake pan and a few other picnic things, and spent the afternoon away from home. Didn't happen very often, but this was special. Sorry Steve didn't have a good time - were you feeling rebellious? I was always glad that Dwight was in this picture.

I think the sun must have been very bright and right in our eyes. I am glad for the photo of the six of us. You are so right, Dwight. It would have been wonderful to have had you in the iris photos.

It was all probably due to the fact that I didn't have a polka dot dress

Would you like a polka dot tie for your birthday?
