please pass on my *absolute* respect to her. She did all of that in an era where there were no shelters for those leaving domestic abuse, there was no daycare, and divorced women were not looked on postively. She was, and IS, a truly courageous woman. I hope she has managed to create a really positive, peaceful, happy life for herself. :) <3 <3 <3

My Crazy Grandfather

My Crazy Grandfather

This is my crazy grandfather. Hands down, the funniest old coot that's ever existed. On his deathbed, he told us (his grandkids) "Don't be cheap. Spend 25 cents and buy the paper. The Times promised me a big spread." He worked as a photographer for the LA Times for 50+ years and had many famous photos, including the first published photo of an atomic bomb explosion.

He was a man of many stories and an unforgettable sense of humor. After laying his wife and two sons to rest, he stayed strong and kept his spirit high. He battled prostate cancer for 20+ years and lived to see his 92nd birthday and his great grandchildren. RIP Grandpa

Wow!! Gorgeous for sure!! But, Now I'm even MORE intrigued to know... Just HOW in the World did NO ONE EVER know this about her!!?? And, if she never let anyone know this part of her life, (which Definitely doesn't seem to be Anything to hide or be ashamed of!!) ...then WHY didn't she ever share this with her Family & Loved ones? And furthermore, What OTHER sorts of COOL, EXCITING, NEAT, ADVENTUROUS things did she have "Hidden in her Closet of Secrets"!!?? Bet whatever there is, It WILL BE FASCINATING for you & all your Family if u do dig and find anymore!!

Do you know where this was taken? I have one of my grandma on this exact horse! We’re from Canada but I suspect it was taken in the USA
