52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: 2020 Week 36 (LABOUR)
In Canada Labour Day is officially the end of summer. It's the last long weekend before school starts on Tuesday.
In the photo below you can see my grandma Mary Elizabeth Thomson (on the left) with her father (Thomas Thomson) and sister Marion Isabella (Maisie) Thomson.
Maybe this was a first day of school photo.
Here they are not too long later, and again it might be a first day of classes photo for elementary school in Calgary, Alberta .
Grandma went to Sunnyside School in Calgary, Alberta, Canada for her elementary years.
Maybe this was Grandma's first day of classes during middle school in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Grandma went to Hillhurst for middle school - in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Here we find grandma enjoying the sun in Calgary, Alberta. Maybe it was the Labour Day weekend. Maybe she was enjoying the last "dog days of summer" before she had to go back to classes.
Grandma attended Crescent Heights in Calgary, Alberta, Canada for her high school years.
When I look at the photo of grandma enjoying the sun I see a beautiful young women with her whole future in front of her. By the time I knew grandma she was just my grandma.
When I look at the pictures of when she was young it's pretty clear that Grandma was way cooler before she became a mother and grandmother.
Exploring the maybes to find the stories!

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
