All Those Recreated Pictures

This is basically a duplicate of a post from 15 years ago. For some reason, Facebook has been serving me dozens of those pictures where people re-create family pictures from their youth or childhood. I don't have siblings. The few cousins I know of are too scattered and distant, and the pictures too few. But I did make one attempt.

I tried to re-imagine a family classic a long time ago, and it turned out pretty well, so I thought I'd share it again. The first picture is my grandmother, Emily M. Rowe, taken around 1940. She was a very active and athletic woman in her younger days- canoeing, hiking, playing tennis in bloomers (shocking!), riding horses, etc. She is snowshoeing here on snowshoes made in Maine by Native Americans, although she wasn't as active by that time in life.




I still own the same sweater, snowpants and snowshoes. Actually, the boots may be around somewhere, but I didn't try to find them for the re-creation, and I haven't seen them since. But I don't exactly remember throwing them away.




The bulk of my day was taken up with getting a new phone, getting it set up, and getting my apps working on it. I MAY have everything in working order. Probably not, but I can hope. Then, just in case I wasn't irritated enough, I went grocery shopping.

Came home and made a really yummy apple-cranberry coleslaw. That will last me a few days. Picture taken before I mixed it up. The dressing has dijon mustard and a little honey. It's really good!

So, I didn't manage to do much on my work projects today, just a little. Forgot to tell you I actually wrote 218 words in Vacation from Dead Mule Swamp yesterday. I'll see if I can keep that going.
