I guess the older folks did not hear my father when he said "Say Cheese"
I think a lot of family at 521 had Smile Bypasses after they moved in...
some of you must have wondered why I called the blog.."Stoopviews"..but as you can see most of the pictures are centered around it.
If you look in the background you will see Isabelle ( or as my father called her "Zapaleen" and her husband Frank ( Frangeesk....these nick names are spelled phonetically)..Look closer and you will see their Christmas tree in the window...they left it up all year long...My father loved telling that story..so happy I found this picture. I think the series "The Adamms Family" was based on them....all kidding aside it's great seeing these long forgotten pictures. It brings our loved ones to mind and we smile as we see them, as they were so many years ago.....and "No" Jay did not get a Tattoo...

If they had smiled and looked happy, they wouldn't be able to tell us what a hard life they had. But, actually, they look pretty happy to me.
Sis, that is because you are old now too and you think you are smiling, but it is just aches and pains....lol
I get the reference to the Tattoo....
What is the translation of Zapaleen ?
HI
LOVE THAT PICTURE, I LOVE LOOKING AT THE OLD PICTURES.......I ALWAYS THOUGHT AUNT NETTIE WAS BEAUTIFUL
LOVE YA
My family calls me Frangeesk, too, but I don't know how it's spelled. Any idea? Thank you!
