Dressed up for Sunday

Beautiful family and in '54, all of my family also dressed in their best every Sunday. My grandfather was a retired coal miner with accident-injured legs also, but he made Sunday his "day of rest" and always wore a white shirt and dress clothes. We would usually go for a ride and an ice cream cone Sunday afternoon. Great days.
