We celebrated my mother’s 88th birthday this past week. She has been a blessing to our family these many years. Here she is with my daughter standing under a lighted Bradford Pear tree in bloom at one of our favorite restaurants in a town nearby our home.
She had a photo laid out in her condo the other day. It was a picture of her and her own mother when she was a young woman in her twenties. She is seated in the middle right beside her friend. Wasn’t she beautiful? I love her taffeta buffalo checked dress with its full skirt. Since the photo is in black and white, you can not tell but the dress was a beautiful shade of blue and white. My grandmother was also very lovely. You can see her on the left in the photo wearing a straw hat. I remember women wearing hats and gloves as a child in the sixties. Ladies looked so stylish back then.
