Margaret CUTTING THE CAKE


For your viewing pleasure I give you Margaret and Jesse cutting the cake on their 33rd wedding anniversary on September 9, 1949. You can see from some quick math on the back that they were wed in 1916. That means that as of today it's been 94 years and 1 day since they wed. Let's hope it was a long and happy marriage, though I doubt they made it to their 94th.


I do so love cutting the cake photos. Celebrations, though the participants do not always appear to be in a celebratory mood. Margaret and Jesse were. Let's hear it for Margaret and Jesse, ordinary people living ordinary lives with special moments.

  2. I haven't been able to figure out family relations for Margaret other than her husband. I'm still slowly tracing through what she's written on the photos. Then other photos have a different handwriting on the back so there's a whole other family involved. And many of Margaret's say "on my front porch." Over the years lots of people on Margaret's front porch, date and time of course provided.

  4. I love the bottle of milk on the table - it's been a long time since milk was sold that way. Sweet picture of a simple, looks like they were very happy couple. Carol
