Home Alone

Mama and Papa Hobbie have gone to a basketball game leaving quadruplets; Molly, Lolly, Polly and Holly home alone. Lolly says, "Wow, Holly, you have on Mama's negligee!" The girls have been doing a bit of experimenting.

Toy Sunday--Home Alone

Red polka dot pj's--Vogue Jeff

Negligee--Cosmopolitan Miss Ginger

White top with pastel flower bottoms--Effanbee

Blue with pink trim--Carolle

The girls have decorated their room with vintage Valentines. My sister went to a Finkner family reunion. No one wanted the vintage greeting cards that belonged to Eunice and Roscoe Simonsen, sister and brother that never married and shared a house with each other.

My grandfather's brother August Adam Finkner (1890-1973) Married Sophia Marie Sorensen (My great aunt by marriage) in 1916. Sophia Sorensen was half-sister to Chriss Simonsen (1880 Denmark) who married Ivy Davis whose children were Eunice and Roscoe Simonsen. If Google figured it right Eunice and Roscoe are not related to me at all but would come under the heading "related families" (might not be the right term) . Eunice and Roscoe were part of the Thomas A. Pederson and Anne Marie Chistendatter Family Tree. They lived in Akron, Colorado where my father also grew up. I have get well cards, we have moved cards, Valentine cards and a few birthday cards. I can't believe no one wanted the vintage cards. I am thrilled to have them. I found dates from 1935-1954. Figuring out the relationships made my brain hurt.
