Because Faby Asked.

For my friend Faby on Twitter!

Mom, me and my great Aunt Annie when we lived at Grandpa and Grandma's vacation house in Clearwater, Florida around late 1958 early 1959.   This was at the front of the house and we were most likely headed to church.

A couple of years later - same house - other end of the front.  We must have come down for vacation from Cincinnati.  (I really miss Mom around to clarify dates for me!)  That's me with my great Aunt Annie, Mom and my Grandma.  I must have been going somewhere with Aunt Annie and Grandma because we're all dressed up and Mom's in her casual type clothes.  :)

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today would have been Mom's 92nd birthday.  She passed away in 1995 and I still miss her each and every day.  I was telling my great and good friend Lainey about her today and decided that I should post up a few of my favourite pics of her.  So, without further ado...

This is, I think possibly around the time she became engaged to my dad.  So... 1946?  

And this is a very glamourous Mom a few years before that.

And this is a picture of Mom, many years later with my cousin, Danny (who is a couple of years older than me).  It's one of my fave pictures of them both.  

And here we are, Mom and me, on the occasion of my first communion.  We lived in Cincinnati at the time.  That's a Jesus nightlight that I got as a gift that I still have somewhere here.  *LOL*  

And lastly, here's Mom in her Official Cruise Portrait back in 1988.  She went with her best friend, and they had a BLAST!

Love you, Mom!!
