Thanks to my mom for sending me this to share!
Here is a photo of my maternal grandparents, Rouseau Allen &
Walter Bennet but everyone always called him pop.
North Carolina, circa? – mom do you know?
I did not inherit her long thin ways…

They are so lovely! I am seriously coveting her dress.
they are adorable. thanks for sharing!
Great photo! I love their clothes, hair…everything! The house in the background is wonderful too.
Looks like a 1940’s era photo.
Tracey,
This was taken right after they were married…November 1940.
Pop was 18 and Grandmother 20.

To the list for VPF!
Rouseau and Walter WERE a handsome couple. The house was called the Gingerbread House because of the carvings on the front portal and is now part of the Historical Home Tour. They were good people and wonderful parents.
Here’s another blogger that wants to join the VPF:
