Photo Phun Phact: The little old lady second from the right is my great, great grandmother who immigrated from Ireland in the early 1900's via Ellis Island. Ellen O'Leary Finn 1880-1982
Wakefield, MA ~ 1970's
My Dad's family was really into fresh sweet corn on the cob, butter, and salt:
Photo Phun Phact: The little blue pitcher on the corner of the picnic table is how the large Altman family would butter their corn rapidly and thoroughly. Directions: Put a stick of butter in a pitcher. Boil water, pour boiling water into pitcher. Butter will melt and rise to the top. Take bare ear of corn, dip into the water. On its way out it gets coated with butter and is ready for salting. You're welcome.
Olean, New York ~ 1970's

Man, I just love photos like this! Those are great pics! My mom has this great big box of old photos and then two or three huge photo albums. There is a always a mix of happiness and sadness when I check those photos out, but I am so glad we have them to remember!
