This is a photo of my Dad & his siblings having a tea party outside. In the second photo is my Aunt Vi, she was the oldest & is the only one still with us. She is proudly holding her doll (she said she never owned a doll, as only her younger sister got the pretty things). She is now 96 years old & living in her own suite still. The young boy second from left is my father, this photo would have been taken in 1924.

Thanks Bellin for the comment & the love.
I remember having many a tea party with friends and siblings like in this wonderful keepsake, but never!!! on such an impressive table a chair set, love it!....:-)
Thanks inky, I'm not sure what became of the table & chairs, or how they ever could have afforded such a luxury. They were as they say dirt poor farmers kids.
Did you notice that there are only three chairs, my dad is sitting on a crate & apparently making sure his cup is clean before he drinks from it.
Thanks for the love, lookin4, musikchoo, & inky.
lol!...obviously and gentleman even at that young age...:-)
lol .. he was a perfectionist from an early age, & always a gentleman.
and I know it has the genes have been passed down!...;-)
Thanks inky, being a gentleman has it's benefits, perfectionism can take a toll.
Thanks for bringing this back to the top Sis & showing it some love again.
Happy Easter everyone.
