In this edition of Picture Book, a peep into The OGs' historic photo albums, a photo of Cutie with her friends from the water aerobics class that appeared on the front page of the Los Angeles Times inspires musings on her lifelong love of water, how much fun it is to splash with a pal, and possible astrological connections.

There is no more iconic piece of mid-century modern American furniture than the Eames Lounge chair. Here, Pop Pop enjoys that other mid-century classic, the mid-afternoon nap, in a very cozy (replica) Eames Lounge.

As summer draws to a close, a grandparent's fancy turns to the passage of time. The OGs, wondering why their grandchildren keep pulling out the video camera, suggest that the footage might as well be sent in a rocket one hundred years in the future--and they have a special message for the people of the 22nd Century. Listen up, future dwellers!

The OGs are wed in Los Angeles.

They love to frolic in the sand.

And to cuddle for photos.

Here they are while their home at 2400 Beverly Drive is being built (it's still there, sometimes we park in front while they muse on past pleasues).

The builder was their brother-in-law Leo Steinberg, who married PopPop's super sassy baby sister Lil (stay tuned for more about Lil, who is shown here in a vintage hand-colored portrait--Barbara remembers attending the session).

The OGs' westside pals know how to throw a party!

The OGs take a trip through the family album and discover a photograph from the rare BBC (before Barbara Cooper) era that sparks memories.
