black and white memories

I love this picture of me, my mom and my dad. I am 2 years old, which means it was taken in 1963. My mom is pregnant with my younger sister. This was taken at my grandparents house in Outlook Washington.

Favorite Foto Friday

This is my mom, age 2, in 1942. Her family lived in a tiny, poor little town in Eastern Washington called Outlook. I treasure any pictures of her taken before the age of 10 because the year that she was 10 their house burned to the ground, (badly burning my mom) and they lost everything. Any pictures from before that time are few and came from other relatives who happened to have some. I remember one time having a chat with my mom about her childhood and being flabbergasted to learn that until they rebuilt their house due to the fire, they did not have an indoor toilet and used an outhouse.

I love her little wrinkled up tights!

Friday's Favorite Family Foto

This is a photo of my Dad and Mom on their wedding day. It was a small gathering the Bremerton Naval Base Chapel. As you can see, my dad is in his dress blues. What I found out just recently is that my ever resourceful Grandmother, made my mom's little pink suit. Not only did she make it, she designed it, and to do this, she had to make over my mom's 8th grade graduation dress!!

(August 1, 1958)

Mom is 18 and my Dad is 24 in this picture. It is the only picture I have ever seen of their wedding day.
