I don't believe it possible that Mildred would have captioned this picture so disrespectfully, unless Anna Lindborg was in the habit of describing herself that way.
This photo was probably taken at Miller Beach in July 1922, like the similar one we've already seen.
Anna Lindborg is the middle of the three women. I believe the woman on the left is Mrs. Bowman. The two children sitting in front are Raymond Lindborg and June Bowman, still showing off her scalloped hem. The other two people are unidentified.
I may have found the Bowman family in the 1920 Census, living in Ward 10 of Gary. Miller had been annexed by Gary a couple of years before, but I haven't been able to find a contemporary ward map to confirm that Miller was in Ward 10. Anyway, the family listed there consisted of Thure (52, carpenter) and Elika (47), both Swedish immigrants, with a son, Helmer (14), and daughter, June (4½).

There were Bowmans living in Miller in the 1960s-1980s.
