inThere’s not much in the way of genealogy here; just some random musings, some thoughts about my past, and maybe, a hope or two for the future.
Smog monster?? Tar monster maybe; methinks they would have needed computer graphics to really make him look like smog.
We were at the southbound side of where the “You are here” marker on this sign was when we stopped. As you can see, Mom made it about three-fourths of the way across, and through both tunnels.

This is only a QP, but you get the idea….

I ran across this picture the other day:
Caption: 1900’s Donna and Jeanette McCombs early 20th century
Because my Aunt Jeanette was born in October of 1900, I’m guessing this was likely taken in late 1901 or early 1902. Donna was born in 1896, so that would have made her about five at the time.
I had shared a photograph of my grandmother and her sisters in an earlier post. It’s interesting to look at the two pictures and see the changes in the faces over the years.
Donna, the oldest is at the back of the group. Jeanette is in the center. My Grandmother, Mattie Beatrice is on the right, and the youngest, Jessie Rae, is on the left.
Since Aunt Rae was born in 1905, I’m thinking this one might have been taken around 1908. That would make Donna about 12, Jeanette about 8, my Grandma about 5, and Aunt Rae about 3.
I know that by 1910, the mother of these girls, Georgia Almeda, had died. I wonder how “Poppa” fared with raising his “Little Women”.
