Mom wrote on back "January 1948 Mickey 1103 Hawthorne" "80" Mikki is standing on one of the stools Dad made. I think each kid had one, and Mikki still owns hers! Rolls stamped on back of photos taken in 1948. "80" roll taken Jan - May 30. "839" started May 30 at Sandstone wedding, stopped and restarted late Sept - Oct. "D71" about 7 photos in June and July. "11" started about July 28 to mid Sept. "79" covered a trip to Northern Minnesota last half of Sept.

Mom wrote on back "January, 1948 Grandpa's fishhouse on Lake Geneva Swenson's barn in background " "80" Don, Mikki being held by Allen, Ken See 1929 Al Ljung Album photos for more information on Swenson barn. Grandpa would spear fish in this house. Mostly he speared Nothern Pike. The sled leaning against it is to move the fishhouse around and on and off the lake. Note it has a small chimney connected to a stove for heat inside.

Mom wrote on back "Spring 1948" Dad wrote Marge (Lund) (Alice's daughter) & Stuart Swanson" Their daughter Diane Leigh Swanson was born Dec 13 1947 So I am guessing this is her baptism which is usually about 2 months after birth so about Feb 15, 1948.

Mom wrote on back "April 14 1948 Duluth Doug Allen Howard Alice Marge Irene holding Sharron Connie" I believe these square photos were taken by Agnes, and that she later sent copies to Irene. Irene labeled her photos (the rectangular ones with wavy edge as happening in March. Later when she got Agnes photos I believe she mistakenly labeled them in April. Also there are photos with Easter baskets and Easter was March 28 so I am saying this is March 14.

Mom wrote on back "April 15 1948 Duluth" Note they drove Myrtle up which means kids left at home - probably with Grandpa. Looks like they are headed home. This is March 15, 1948 (not April)

Mom wrote on back "Near Easter April 29 1948 1103 Hawthorne" Don with Easter basket. Note another camera on concrete. I believe this photo taken by Agnes (see ZL9 670 for photo with Agnes and camera) and the camera in the photo is the Ljung camera. Easter was March 28 in 1948 so this is March 29 instead of April 29.

Mom wrote on back "April 29 1948" Ken, Irene, Mikki, Don March 29 1948. Photo by Agnes In a similar but fuzzier (hence tossed) photo probably taken by Ljung camera Dad wrote "Displaced Family?" Mom correctly dated it as March 29, 1948.

Mom wrote on back "April 29 1948 Leaving for Denver" Someone much later added "Doug & Marge" Marge holding Sharron, Doug and Connie with Easter basket. Since Don's Easter basket in previous photo is similar, I am guessing they were both purchased this year (gift from Doug and Marge?) At any rate, the Ljungsters used baskets like these for many years. Again March 29,1948.

Mom wrote on back "Allen by memorial to those who died in Hinkley fire May 1948" "80" In Wikipedia "On Saturday, September 1, 1894 between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., a great firestorm consumed and destroyed Hinckley and 5 smaller communities, namely Mission Creek, Sandstone, Miller, Partridge and Pokegama." "80" indicates that Mom and Dad stopped here before the wedding. So May 29 or even early May 30, 1948.

Mom wrote on back "Aunt Mathilda & kids June, 1948 1103 Hawthorne" "D71" Mathilda is Irene's mother's sister and she is holding Mikki, Ken and Don on Ken's trike I believe Mom has date wrong. Looking at roll numbers and other photos, I believe all of these Mathilda and Ording photos are about July 28 and not June 28. So assume this is like July 25

Mom wrote on back "June 28, 1948 At Ordings 722 Kenwood Mickey & Gregg Palm" "11" Oh Oh, your Mom is going to be mad. Incidentally this is the photo that convinces me the date is like July 28, 1948 and not June 28. I think this is the first "11" photo. The other Ording photos are D71. My birthday is also D71 therefore roll 11 must start after my birthday. Also there are other photos of Mom's aunts visiting in Aug.

Mom wrote on back "September, 1948 Grandpa and the kids" Dad labeled as "Plugged storm sewer" "11" Order left to right is Don, Grandpa, Ken, Mikki. Grandpa is trying to unplug drain with stick. This is our corner of 11th (which was just gravel) and Hawthorne (paved I think) The "11" roll indicates that it was first half of Sept, 1948 unless "11" roll is just reprints. Note their is a loose "960" and Mom wrote "Summer 1948 Grandpa & the Ljungsters explore Curb Lake at 1103 Hawthorne. In album ZL9 there is a reprint of this photo (has roll "960" which is a singleton). I have discarded that copy. Looking at size of Mikki I go with late summer or September 1948.

Mom wrote on back " "Old Man Sandstone" September 1948" "79" You can see this from Lund house.. I believe Mom and Dad were celebrating their 6th wedding anniversary by revisiting the North Shore where they went on their honeymoon. It is clear from photos that the kids were left at home. Dad used to keep a trip expense log and from that log they left home Sat Sept 18 and they left Sandstone Monday 9/20. All the dates from this trip are from log. My guess is these Sandstone photos were Sandstone Sunday Sept 19, 1948.

No info. "79" stamped on back. From position next to a copy of an Sept 1948 photo of Mom along Kettle River (also has 79 stamp) I assume this is Irene in Sept 1948. A duplicate of this (also 79) has written by Mom "September, 1948 Climbing rocks by Kettle River in Sandstone"

Mom wrote on back "Cabin at Virginia Lodge September 1948" "79" This is the exact (or very similar to) cabin they stayed in on their honeymoon. They checked in at Virginia Lodge on Mon Sept 20 and checked out Thur morning Sept 23. I am guessing this is after they checked in Sept 20. Incidentally the Lodge cost $3 per night.

Mom wrote on back "Model of Viking ship in Leif Ericsson Park Duluth September 1948" "79" They stayed in Duluth with Howard and Agnes from Thur 23 and drove home Sunday Sept 26. The log indicates that Sat Sept 25 they drove to Two Harbors. It would have been easy to stop at Leif Erikson Park on the North side of Duluth on the way up North. So guess Sept 25 in the morning (Note long morning shadows) This ship was made in 1926 and 3 "Vikings" sailed it from Norway to Duluth. It fell into disrepair and supposedly has been preserved and is once again in the park, but Google Earth doesn' seem to show it.

Mom wrote on back "Cabin at Virginia Lodge on Sand Lake September 1948" "839" Note this is a new roll of film and so this photo comes after all the "79" photos. Irene looking at plants. This photo is interesting. There are 5 "839" photos from May 30 Sandstone wedding. Then in Sept "839" starts again. So did Mom and Dad each have a camera? Or did Dad switch rolls in and out of a single camera (I used to do that when I had different film types - different ISO numbers for example) Not clear why Dad would do that with simple box cameras. So if they had two cameras then this could have been taken back on Sept 20 when they were staying at the Lodge. If they had a single camera it is more likely taken after Sept 25. If so I would guess they made a small detour on their way home Sun Sept 26 and snapped this photo then. The only reason to return would be that they forgot something there. Is this Mom looking for something she lost near the cabin? I hope she found it. Your choice as to when this was taken.
