Hats

 Yesterday's post reminded me of something my grandmother (Cleffie) once told me. Her mother (Annie Hicks) liked for her children to wear hats. I don't remember if there was any particular reason given. Anyway, I went searching through the family photos to find evidence...

Cleffie told me they had been eating watermelon and that's why they look messy in this picture.
