Easter 1958
This picture is labeled "Easter 1958 with the Flynns" in my album. I love the way Nanny seems to be looking at the camera, my eyes are shut, Weenie seems to be speaking across the table and Grammy Flynn (Barbara Lippman Flynn) is looking lovingly at her son.
I am not sure what house this is. I think we lived on Olive Street in Silver Creek at this time and I'm guessing this is where it might be. I don't think Nanny would have been sitting there in that manner if she was the hostess, but I could easily be mistaken.
It looks like turkey was on the menu that year. The pretty hyacinth were probably a hostess gift--unless Mom made special effort to pretty up the table for her parents and her grandmother's visit. I see that Nanny's china was there--that's part of what confuses me about what house this is. I recognize it because I have it here and get it out myself for holiday dinners. What a history! It appears dinner is just about to start.
It appears dinner is just about to start for four people. Looks like 4 plates and 4 place settings but it's hard to be sure. So I'm assuming Mom is there but Dad is not. Hmmmmm.........where's Waldo for Easter in 1958?

YOU ARE THERE AND I AM NOT? MUST BE MY FATHER AND I WERE HAVING ONE OF OUR SPECIAL FATHER AND SON MOMENTS.
Chris brings up a good point, as always. Perhaps Mom was with him and Dad took this picture.
