These lovely young ladies all dressed up for Easter are my grandma Ethel Sack-Piper (on the right), and her younger sister Dorothy Sack-McCormick.  I believe this picture was taken around 1909 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when Ethel would have been 5 years old, and Dorothy 3 years old.

It is pretty hard for me to imagine my grandma, looking so sweet, and if you ever had the privilege of meeting my Grandma Ethel you get my drift.  They both have on pretty dresses and we can see the tops of their button-down shoes.  They appear to be holding Easter baskets, and while Ethel's hair is styled with a flower in her hair. Dorothy looks like a sweet little pixie with her short hair combed behind her ears.

This would have been close to the time that they moved into their grandparent's home, David and Sarah Griffith.  My grandmother Ethel remembered living in the house at 642 Wharton Street,in Philadelphia, and if you Google the address you can see what the house looks like today.  When the family lived there David and Sarah had a candy store on the ground floor, and they all lived in very crowded conditions above it.
