Sisters: Part 2

I thought I’d continue the theme of sisters/siblings for another week. This is a photo of my dad with three of his sisters.  I don’t know who the girl on the left is (any info on who that might be would be appreciated), but next to her is Germaine, Wana, Frances, and Bob Landry.  When you come from family lines with lots of kids, there are sisters and aunts everywhere! This time the focus is on my dad’s side of the family. He, like my mom, had four girls in his family. There were also four boys as well. And this was in the middle of the Great Depression!

But they didn’t seem to lack the important things. They had their brothers and sisters in Lake Charles. They had some cousins in Plaquemine that they liked to visit. My dad talks about how he liked to sleep on the porch at their house. I guess sometimes “important things” don’t include beds! When I think of him sleeping on the porch as a kid, I picture him at the age he is in this first photo. Such a cute group of kids.

I wouldn’t want to leave Aunt Marie out of the discussion.  She’s the oldest of my father’s siblings.  This photo is from 1925 when the family only consisted of my grandparents and their first two children.  This is A. J. and Marie Landry.  I love this old photo.  I just wish the chicken’s beak was in the photo.  That would be perfect!
