Water, Water, Every Where

The prompt for this week's Sepia Saturday contains, among other things, a body of water. So I thought I would share some photographs in my collection involving oceans and lakes. Some of these I have shared previously, others are new to this blog

Here's a photograph of my four paternal great-grandparents, on a vacation together. They were good friends prior to their children getting married. Barney and Bertha (Cruvant) Newmark are on the left, and Herman and Annie (Blatt) Feinstein are on the right. The year was 1947, they were in Miami, FL, and family lore states that while the Feinstein surname caused them enough difficulties with the area hotels in that year, as the vacation progressed, and my great grandfather's tan grew darker and darker, their difficulties are said to have grown.

Here's some photographs of the children of the above four, ten years earlier in 1937. My paternal grandparents Melvin and Sissie (Feinstein) Newmark. They are on their honeymoon in the Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri.

Here are my maternal grandparents, also on their honeymoon in 1937. Martin and Myrtle (Van Every) Deutsch. The water isn't visible in this photograph, though it is clear they are on a boat. They are in Mexico. The beginning of the phrase on the boat reads: "Soy del nino" which translates to "I am the child." I can't read the rest.

And finally, here is a photograph of my wife and me last year, on our honeymoon.
