I am getting old....the days are flying by. We are very busy here in Ashland, and the season goes on through early November, but there is a "Fall" feeling to the air, and the evenings are cooling down to great sleeping temperatures. A few trees are starting their color change, which reminds us that Summer is almost over.
Here's a photo from 1928
taken in Santa Monica, CA. My grandfather, Edmond Dayton is on the left, grandmother Jane Myers Dayton on the right. No idea of the identity of the center couple....or the cute doggie!
When I think of my grandparents in CA in the late 1920s, almost 100 years ago, it is a bit mind-boggling. The trip alone must have taken more than a week, and could have been harrowing. They must have been in their 50s, and I love my Gram's fun dress! She's the only one who looks like she might enjoy a day at the beach!
We know so little about our grandparents' lives, especially on the Dayton side. I wonder what they were doing in CA and how much is that house behind them worth now? Could the couple in the middle be a relative? I wonder if Tom or Rich might know.
