My Very Cool Mom
I was dorking around on Facebook this morning and saw this photo from one of my uncle’s classmates. I’ve honestly been closer to family members who have moved away due to Facebook then I ever was, so I see that as a huge blessing.
This is my mother. She’s the blonde standing up. I’m assuming this is around 1960
The dresses are cracking me up because mom liked jeans more than anything. Anyway, she was the maternal parental unit.
Miss her everyday.
Thanks Mr. Dunlap. I’d never seen this photo before. Next up, I’m going to get a picture of her band to show you. Just need to find it.
i’ve enjoyed connecting with my remote cousins via facebook as well – we even had our first ever weekend reunion at lake cumberland last summer as a direct result. but the pictures? amazing…
LOVE the pic of your mom… she’s beautiful, and for a gal who preferred jeans? she looks pretty comfortable!
Your mom looks just like you and your sister. Which is pretty funny, since your sister doesn’t look like you.
Very pretty!
When we moved to our new house last summer, I had to help sort out all of the old family photos once we got into the new house. The best find was a picture of my great-grandparents on their wedding day in the early 1920s. My great-grandmother’s wedding dress was a quintessential flapper dress–form-fitting, beads, fringe, layers, cloche hat instead of a veil, the works. She was gorgeous! She died when I was 7 or 8–it’s too bad, I would’ve loved to ask her about it.
Definitely a family resemblance.
Though we do tend to look at the hair, clothing, decor etc from back them with a certain amount of awe, those were some really carefree, low stress times in the 60s and 70s.
I’d take ‘em back in a heartbeat.
I miss her too! She was quite a gal!
