This is a photo of Aunt Vi and her longtime companion's (Ivah) mom, Lane. Don't let the photo fool you, they didn't get along well. (Remember they are both looking at Ivah, who is taking the pic.) What I love is Aunt Violet's sassy pose. Lane was a good Christian woman, her father a minister. I think this was dated the early 1930's.
Lane helped raise me. Babysat when my mom was at work. Read books to me, including her Bible. I called her Laney and loved her very much, until I saw how she treated my aunt. I never understood why, as a child, but of course now I do. Aunt Vi was a loose cannon. And she held her daughter's heart. She felt Aunt Vi and Ivah were a bad influence on me.
