I am estimating that this is Easter 1950 judging by Jane's size. Above is my mother Louise Wicker Long, my little sister Jane and myself outside our flat on Arsenal. I think a bird crash-landed on my mother's hat!
Above are Jane and I with our baskets.
And, here we are with our grandparents---Wes and Vennie Wicker. We are all probably on our way to church.
Notice what a good big sister I am!
I think my sister had to go down for a nap since she isn't in the photos with our cousins: Stephen Adams, Bob Delaney and Michael Delaney.
Here we are again. I love this photo---Michael and I are looking at Steve like he just said something inappropriate. Bob, on the other hand, seems amused that Steve is about to get in trouble. ..as usual.

Our expressions are perfect for our personalities: Steve is thinking of doing something "bad"; I am happy to be with my cousins; Bob (being the oldest by a month or two) is acting all mature. I still miss holidays with all of my cousins and think of them when I have all of my grandchildren running through the house just enjoying being with their cousins.

Jaci, cute pictures. Your guess of the 1950 year for the first picture is probably right. The car in the background is a 1950 Chevrolet. / Dave
I love these pictures. I so loved Grandma and Grandpa. I am certain Grandma had her hand in making our dresses and coats.
Some of my most cherished memories are with my cousins. I think it is a Long tradition to stay close to them. Thanks to you for keeping the connection with your blog.
I am really glad that we kept our kids close too.
that last picture of you looks like BECKY!! I never thought I would see that!
