ps Sun, forgot to ask, which one are you? The 'loves to smile big' girl or the girl that is making that hysterical funny face. It looks like someone is off camera and farted and she is reacting to the smell and shock of it all!!! LOL

lol HP .. I love my mom's shoes also! She always dressed so nice even when she had no where to go. My sister is the strawberry blonde with the cute little bally pony tail thingies ... I like them too Lori! Your correct HP, I am the smaller, dark haired sister. I'm loving seeing everyone's photos!

HP, Ed looks so much happier in the last shot LOL I love his bangs, it looks like he took a curling iron to them. Does Ed know we are looking at old pics of him?

Hahaha. Thanks for answering, Nic! You are soooo cute! Pamy, Ed has naturally wavy hair (drives him nuts)--tends to clump up in big curls. So I think that's what happened there. No curling iron; he'd die if someone thought that! (Uh, I used to use one on my son when he was little, though. Heh.) Ed's hair is much further back on his forehead these days, believe me. NO! He doesn't know I'm sharing and would kill me! He looks like such a namby pamby there. Actually is NOT at all. He's an A personality (I think I've got that right). Always stressed about something--and very neat and precise about things. (Uh, I'm just the opposite.)

Stacey, just saw your comment and ITA, I lost so much hair with that perm! It fell out in clumps. Scared the poo outta me. Actually the pic above it, was another perm that was growing out, if I remember correctly, cuz I seem to remember having had two perms. Anyhow, notice how both those PERM pix are the only ones where I'm not smiling. Coincidence... I think not. LOL.

Great pics HP, and you remind me a lot of someone too. Have you ever posted a recent pic of yourself on here? BTW, when you say 2nd from Right (when looking at a photo) that means MY right, right? lol. Therefore, she's the one in the tank top?? Vacanick, love your picture and your Mom's shoes too. She had great legs, didn't she? I hope you all keep the photos coming, they're great fun to see. I gave my scanner away (brand new) as I never used it; now I wish I had so's I could post some too.

Holly, yes, you've got her pinned down now. (Now I see why you might have been confused.) I have one of those faces, MB and Holly. I get that all the time. But I never know the person they've mentioned. Holly, I have one picture that I am willing to post. It is about 5 years old. I lost it when I had to reinstall all my software this past summer. (It shows my mother and me exchanging kisses. I found it in my son's photo album--he snapped the pic--after my mother died on Christmas Day two years ago. I stole the pic from my son (with his blessings) and posted it soon after. I'll have to scan it again and post it somewhere. In time!!

Aww, HP. Sorry to learn about your Mom. I know it must be really hard on you when Christmas rolls around, and I hope this past Christmas was bearable for you. I'd love to see that pic when you get around to it. No hurry though!

HP I have to tell you, I was thinking the same thing too, lol. You remind me of 2 people -- a cousin and an acquaintance I had in law school. More of the acquaintance, but I don't think I have any pics of her. Here's my cousin (in white)
(the two on the left are my cousins, on the right are my aunts - pic is 15 yrs old) Your garden photo is the one that reminded me of her. Although my hubby, who is a hobbyist portrait artist, says he doesn't see it so much

Mom and Dad holding me I think in early '66. I think they look so nice.
Me and my little brother some time in the late 60s. I would guess 69? Look at his chubby face and goofy suit..LOL

LOL Naja.. think I had pants just like those in the 90s (maybe diff colors ) My brother and I did the same exact pose btw at what looks like the same ages. I think it's the powder blue suit/bow tie one, lol. Maybe I'll see if my mom can send it to me.

Great pics! Does everyone have pictures of their mother/grandmother dressed in their Easter finery (with a corsage) standing in front of a flowering bush? I must have 15-20 of those pictures in our family album - LOL!!

I am so impressed or maybe it is a fond memory of how well dressed and presented the moms and dads of that generation are were. Great pics and memories folks!
