Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


Grandma Source: AraBelle and Photographs — Jo and Peter

Recovered family-history source from Peter Zeimet. This is Peter’s family recollection and should be treated as a source account rather than independently verified history.

Your grandmother did not like to have her picture taken. I am not a fan of that, either. I don’t recall having ANY photos of you with either of the Edgemont grandparents. Remember I lived in Alaska for a very long time and quite honestly, I doubt more than 2-3 letters were ever mailed in several decades of residing up there. I am sure you have every picture I do. I probably can obtain some through Les Seney in Rapid City. She has a computer, but I have no idea if there is a scanner attached. My scanner died before the Dell computer died. I am using an old jalopy computer now salvaged from the closet and plan on getting a new one sometime this coming winter.

Who did you want photos of? You sent me a whole box a couple years ago and most of the Zeimet family is in a few group shots at the cabin. I tried calling Les Zeimet Seney several times this week as they auctioned off the ranch on the 19th. I cannot find her latest cell phone number and she has not been home. Let me know who you want, and I will manage to get some to you if available. – pz

Jo’s reply

Jo had the same basic answer: she did not have any photographs of Danielle with AraBelle. She remembered AraBelle as very camera-averse and thought she herself had only two photos of her mother taken after about 1950. Jo added that she was still reading the blog.

Jo’s original reply

Alas, not a one.

I didn't carry a camera very often, I wasn't at Mom's much when you were
there, and as you know, she was very camera averse.  I think I only have 2
photos of her that were taken after 1950 or so.  LOL

So sorry.  Stil reading the blog -- xjo

By chance do you have any photos of me with Grandma? I have some with
Grandpa but not her.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
