Wistful Wednesday on Friday:Uncle Ron

What in the world happened to Wednesday?  Well it was a holiday and it threw me all off.  Yesterday at work I thought..I totally missed Wistful Wednesday.  Back to the photos in the trunk.

Far Guy’s Dad had three brothers.

This is Uncle Ron.

Ron henderson and fish

Looks like he and Tippy  Lady were fishing!  I am not sure why the fish are on an old broom handle.. maybe because it is easier to hold for the photo!  Those are some nice looking Northerns. I will guess that this photo was taken in the early 1950’s.

The photo was taken at Grandma and Grandpas farm.  We think on the west side of the house.  The vine covered windows would have looked into the front living room/dining room.  I say living /dining because the big oak table was in there along with a rocking chair and another chair and Grandma’s China Cabinet.

Uncle Ron loved to fish.  Winter, summer, spring or fall fishing was real high on his list.  He was a teacher and later a Principal.  He was the Principal for the elementary school that Far Guy attended.  Some days the bad behavior news reached home before Far Guy did.

About Tippy Lady. Far Guy says she was a heck of a dog.  If you hooked her up with some baling twine to a wagon she would pull you around the yard:)

  1. Good photo of Uncle Ron who did not let Farguy have any fun in school at all!
    HAH! I like the broomhandle and the one=handed hold…he was showing his muscles maybe!
    We got rain this morning! A wonderful gentle shower that watered us well…green grass again maybe? No watering in the garden for a few days if it stays cool???
