This week my mom turns 79. Look at this sweet picture of her when she was little. She was her parents' first child and there are many, many pictures of her taken in Wheaton, Kansas. Studio photography must have been very popular in the early 1930s. Her family also took many snapshots. What mom will mention about this picture is her ringlets. The agony of having those combed is an unpleasant memory of her childhood. But aren't they so so cute.....Mom was named Lou Ellen, allegedly after Lou Gehrig, a favorite of her baseball-loving father.
I remember wearing ringlets( they were a pain to create) and I am alot younger than your mom VBG. They did look cute on her - a lovely photo. My dad is actually one year younger than your mom. He had lots of naturally curly hair - the kind most girls wish for.. When he was little he had his own natural ringlets.
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom has a terrific birthday- Each year one lives is a gift- may she celebrate many more years in good health and surrounded by the love and laughter of good friends and family.
Regards,
Anna
Anna, that is so sweet, thanks for your wonderful thoughts. I have naturally curly hair - do you?

I have natural body in my hair- it is baby fine and thin on top- it is the only thin part about me,the rest of me is pretty thick... VBG
ReplyDeleteMy sister has more curl in her hair..
My mother still puts rollers in her hair and is very finicky about having her hair tidy and curled. So was my grandmother- I keep mine relatively short and like it wash and wear..
Enjoy your day...
PS. I love the squash story and quote by Dave Barry- My son would love it..
Regards,
Anna
