Daddy and Alice Fishing Picture taken by Warren Woodrome
I found it, I found it. This is Alice’s favorite picture of Daddy. It was taken shortly after Alice and Warren were married and they went back to Illinois to visit our folks. We spent a lot of time on the Mississippi River when we were growing up, and that’s where this picture was taken. I guess Daddy wanted to show Warren what good stock Alice was from. And look how young Alice looks, and she was married woman. It dawns on my that my dad was still a fairly young man at that time . . . at least a whole lot younger than I am now. Funny how our definition of old changes as we ourselves age.

What a wonderful picture for you both to have! She does look so young. I was 8 when my mom was my age. I can’t believe that. The definition of old definitely changes.
:heartbeat: I think that I love that picture so much because we are in Daddy’s element. No picture of him would be so perfectly typical without that hat he wore so much, and running trot lines was just so — so Daddy. Of course, I like it that I’m in the picture with him. :sunny: I’m glad you found the picture and posted it.
Alice looks SO young. How old was she when she got married? I was 18 and my hubby 21, but he looked younger than I did! But in our pictures from that time, we both look young!
I am so glad you found the picture. I don’t think I have that one any more. I love it and you and Alice and Dave :spinning:mom
I just realized that it has been 15 years since I was 40. :whocares:
Alice looks so sweet and innocent. :)
Perspective.

I just subscribed to your site, linked to Alice’s blog, so I feel I can leave a comment. The pic of your dad and Alice reminds me so much of my childhood. I spent a lot of time on the Mississsippi River between IL and IA fishing with my dad, too. Some of my best memories come from those times.
The definition of old age is this: Old is anyone 20 years your senior. I am not sure if this works for people in their nineties or not.
