Happy Birthday to my Mom, 2009


LLL at 2 years old,
on Bandy Road in Garden City, Virginia

Cheryl, Peggy and Louise in 1954. (Where?)

Joe and Louise
family of five

This is my memory of the happy couple
who raised me right.

I don't have a date for this one,
but it's on Norris Road....

... as is this one.
Mom made the blue jumper I'm wearing.

I think this is the last photo with all of Mom's siblings.
1992, Greensboro, NC.

Sisters!

I'm not sure when this was,
but it's one of my favorite photos of Mom.

Mom, Dad and Jolynn came to Houston to visit.
This must have been 1975 or so.

Mom traveled from Michigan
for my masters' degree cermony...

... and we had a lovely meal at a Russian restaurant.
(And yes, she made that dress for me too!)

Joellen's first Grandma bath.

Compare the big blue eyes!

Mom and Aileen walked with Joellen
around Walden pond. May 1984.

Heather was charmed by this quilt
made for her by her Grandma.

What a lot of happy people!

One of her many skills...

I'm sure there are better kitchen photos,
but this one catches the joy.

Someone called this "that Grandma look" :-)

And here's a typical December/January birthday event.
This one was 2004 & 5.

There were so many good photos from the 50th wedding anniversary, but this might be my favorite.

And here's a good Christma photo.

And finally, the most recent photo of me and my Mom, at Thanksgiving 2009.
Happy Birthday Mom!
