    My gorgeous grandmother *pics*

    I never got to meet my grandma, but i've always seen pictures of her. She looks like such a gorgeous lady inside and out and I wish I had met her

    My mom and I were doing some scrapbooking last night and while looking at old photos came across these. I've seen them before but they're still as gorgeous as ever.
    Hope you don't mind me sharing...

    What great photos. Looks like she had a wonderful spirit and loved life. Do you think you look anything like her?

    She's beautiful! I've only met 2 of my grandparents. One I barely know (only have seen him 4-5 times maybe) and my grandmother was very sick as far back as I can remember. I would have loved to know them

    I know how wonderful it is to go back and look at pictures of grandparents and other relatives that we were never fortunate enough to meet during their lifetime. My paternal grandfather passed away when my dad was 19, and my maternal grandmother passed away when I was 2. I never got to see them in my life. I met my maternal grandfather at the age of 2 when we went to visit family after my grandma passed away, but that was the one and only time I got to see him. He died when I was 7, and I never got a chance to see him after that one visit. The only grandparent I really got to know was my paternal grandmother. She lived to be 82 and passed away when I was 13. She lived with us for a whole year. Sadly, I never knew my other grandparents. Its sad, but thankfully, I've gotten to know them through their stories and pictures.

    I love seeing photos from the (I'm guessing here..so cut me some slack ) 50s! My Grandmother worked for the Polaroid company for some years, before she went to work for the Chelsea Naval Shipyard, and I remember the pictures she and my parents took that had all the ripply edges. Brings back happy memories. Thanks for sharing your lovely grandmother with us.

    Kay, when I saw your grandmom's photo, I had to look twice. She resembles my mother in the 40's, same hairdo, same outfit (great legs too). The resemblence is unbelievable. I love looking through old photos in black and white Polaroid. Luckily, my mom salvaged alot and made family albums. My dad (who was still handsome even as he became so ill and dying) was so handsome in his day that I used to kiss his photos and swoon. My folks made a "hot" couple. I always loved any photo of a relative in uniform! Made me so proud! Salute! What wonderful forever keepsakes!
