Catherine Connors is a mother, writer and recovering academic who traded the lecture hall for the playroom and discovered that university students and preschoolers have much the same attention span. In addition to Bad Mother blogging at Beliefnet, she is, among other things, the author of HerBadMother.com, the moderator of Her Bad Mother’s Basement, the co-founder and co-editor of WeCovet, a contributing writer/editor at MamaPop and BlogHer, and most recently (deep breath) founder of and contributor to Canada Moms Blog. And in her spare time… oh, wait. She doesn’t have spare time. But she’s okay with that.
Like this photo - I have an almost identical one (right down to the vehicle) of my own grandparents. Also taken in the 1940s.
I also have a very similar picture of my grandparents, taken in the same era, with my grandfather also in a sailor suit. They, however, were not much for traveling back in those days. It wasn't until they'd been married for over 40 years that he finally convinced her to buy an RV and see some of the US. She was terrified of driving, and of traveling.
(PS - Most of my Wordless Wednesday posts are named Nearly Wordless Wednesday, because I have an aversion to not writing something. It's a sickness.)
