This week, here's another relative of Bert and Archie- Grandmother Shaw.
The back of the photo says she was born in 1802. Not sure how this could be, since the photo of papa states he was a young man (with a beard, no less) in 1830+. Wouldn't that make them around the same age? Maybe she was a VERY young mother. Maybe Grandmother Shaw just wanted to shave off a few years. Maybe you've done it, too!
I just love this.
Geemaw Shaw looks like a bad ass and could cut you down with one look. I would scuttle around the walls just to stay outta her sight.

I would love to have an address stamp like that. How cool.

Natalie- I'll bet Geemaw has a switch hidden under that skirt!
