Wordless Wednesday - 14 December 2011

Today's Wordless Wednesday is inspired by last weeks posting - After posting last weeks Wordless Wednesday, I found out that it was actually a 50th wedding anniversary party for my paternal great-grandparents, Roman and Wanda (Pokornoski) Pawlak.

Here is another picture that appears to be from the same day, taken on their farm in Minnesota in 1956.

Roman and Wanda are here in this picture, along with all their children, which was a special treat because my grandmother lived in Florida! Left to right, my grandmother Sophia, Delphine, Roman, Wanda, Richard and Edwin. What a nice picture!

Wordless Wednesday - 07 December 2011

Okay, not completely wordless this Wednesday!!

These are my paternal great-great-grandparents, Roman and Wanda (Pokornoski) Pawlak at their farm in Minnesota in July 1956. I wish I could have seen it!

I studied the feast laid out and I can come up with the following:

Mashed potatoes (?)
A stack of white bread (seems to have been a staple on every table in the 50s!!)
Cold cuts on a plate
Green olives
Peas
Coffee cups, creamer, sugar

I'm not sure what they are holding - some sort of bread? Any guesses?

Obviously this was a big family dinner judging by all the mis-matched chairs. I'm sure a good time was had by all!
