Long, lonnnng ago I was looking at some pictures that my grandmother had, and I was struck by three of a woman who married into my grandfather’s family. She starts out as a happy young lady, with the biggest smile, possibly on their wedding day in the 1920s or about to get married soon.

The next two are during the Depression: sitting in the back yard with her first baby, and then with her two boys around age 8 and 10, I would think. She’s no longer the joyous young girl marrying the man of her dreams but a hard-working mother, whose family has become her life. My cousin recently found their names in a very old family Bible.

More definition and less noise would be wonderful. These actual photos are soooo tiny —- the two of when she was young are less than 2“ x 3“ each; the one with his or her parents in it is not much bigger. It’s awfully hard to see them.

I used to have Photoshop on my computer but I’ve lost it now. Whatever you can do would make my heart happy and bring her to life, after all these decades. Thank you.

(They’re more of a dark-ish purple than lavender, but in brighter light you can see the colour).
And, of course, I had to get some “librarian” type glasses, just in case any of you out there have any overdue books!

I haven’t had new frames in forever. I only wear them for distance (driving mostly), the rest of the time I prefer to squint. For my taste, the geekier the better. Fortunately the place I got my eyes tested had almost nothing BUT geeky frames.
The first pair are my current glasses, second is an old pair I LOVE but they won’t put lenses in them bc slightly cracked. 3 to 8 are possibilities, yes?

Thank you thank you thank youuuuu to everyone who took the time to comment! (and you don’t have to stop). You’ve given me some really valuable feedback and lots to think about. I’ve followed this sub for awhile, but now am very glad I posted. It’s helpful to read all these opinions and votes and look at the frames I picked in a new light. Many thanks from Canada!
