The Painter in the Family - 1940's

My grandfather John Cacicia working on one of his many paintings in the backyard of our K Street home in Morrellville around 1945. In this distance on the porch is Ann Yanoshack's mother who was ancient even then. Her mother (I have no idea what her name was) used to scare the crap out of me. Growing up in the 60's - the old lady just sat on the back porch - huddled in a chair....never speaking a word...only staring...she was like death looking you in the eye.

On the plus side - the grapevine on the picture is still alive and well. Though it has had touches of blight from time to time. But otherwise is still going strong. We also have a lot of the tools laying on the ground...from the rake to shovels.
