I think it's hard work to compose the FH Alphabet challenge posts every week; I can't imagine doing the alphabet every day! Congrats to you for doing such a great job with it.<br /><br />Floral is such an unusual name. I don't believe I've ever heard the word used as a name before. The photo of the 3 girls is adorable and the photo of the 5 sisters is even better. Can you imagine all the chatter that might have happened during a get-together like that, especially if they were talkative and in the mood to reminisce? <br /><br />Lovely post (as are all of yours).Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-40868315687592259002013-04-11T07:12:24.319-04:002013-04-11T07:12:24.319-04:00I'm sure becoming the head cashier at the bank...I'm sure becoming the head cashier at the bank was a big deal for a woman back then.

Maybe they were "waiting each other out" to see who would be the one to call on one of the Sullivan girls.<br /><br />And the last photo is so sweet.<br /><br />I checked my database...no Florals or Leotas, but I do have ten Pearls and one Pearle.
