Sepia Saturday


Sepia Saturday: 1913, Houston, Missouri

RIGHT: My mother's mother, Meribel Covert (married name, Davis)
LEFT: Her cousin Fern Owsley Hines

I'm busy writing, or, rather, avoiding writing, which takes just as much (more?) time.
I miss blogging...

    Ah, your superpower.

    (Maybe you could have your valet write for you?)

    I would take either of those names over my own.

    Envy is something of a besetting sin....

    M'RET: Bring on Jeeves!

    SPARKER: I love many of the girls' names on my mother's side:
    Fern, Pearl, Maude, Helen, Virginia.

    Alas, I only got the last name "Covert" as a middle name. (Though there's also Bertha and Olive, so that's not that bad.)

    Your grandmother looks quite a bit like your mother in this photo.

    I hadn't realized Fern was so much older than Meribel.

    MOMO: Imagine how it felt to wear that bow!

    BINK: Oh, funny, I hadn't seen my mother in her, but now you say it, I do.
    Fern was actually a second cousin, I think. (I get lost in the tangle of family ties.)
