Sunny afternoon.
Pappy and Marie.
Fresno, Caifornia.
1940's.
When Aunt Ila gave me this picture of my great grandparents, I immediately fell for its after-church weekly family potluck feel.

Nice story. Wrong reality.
"Our family didn't get together all the time back then," Uncle Tommy says. "Not like now."
That means special occasion: Birthday. Serviceman's homecoming.
Maybe...christening? --->

Church explains why Marie looks overdressed for backyard burgers.
Play along. What's your idea?
