" I was pretty spoiled, and I had a mind of my own. When I was supposed to come into the house when my Mother called for me, I would take off running into the fields. My Mother would send Evelyn after me, she would catch me and then sit on top of me and hold me down until my Mother got there, then I would get hauled off to the house, I got a whipping too..unless my Grandma Abbott was there, there wasn't a person around that could lay a hand on me if she was around." :)
That is too cute!
ReplyDeleteSo Cute, yes she does seem to have him under control, lol
ReplyDeleteSo did Little Miss Evelyn grow up to be in law enforcement? Sounds like she was the one to call on to round up the strays! Heeehehehe! That pic is just adoriable.
ReplyDeleteYou have a terrific day sweetie!!!
Wild Willard had the look of a little mischief maker with that sly smile - so cute though. Good thing Evelyn was around to corral him.
ReplyDeleteCute story. I love old photos.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy your blog, takes me back, too.
ReplyDeleteWillard is a doll, and Evelyn surely had her hands full being big sister and resident "Willard Catcher". Love the Grandma Abbott twist, wWonder if my "boys" will say that about their Lanny when they get old. I don't say much, but I get a feelin' that when I'm around the discipline is a bit different - hmmm.
ReplyDeleteSomething so real about the expressions, the pose and even the way the picture is framed.
ReplyDeleteHer hand is grabbing onto his strap!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd what did Willard grow up to be....

Great picture and memory of "Wild Will". Sometimes don't you wish you could hear everybody's story? :)
