"Vintage" Me at Easter!

Posted on 9:05 PM by jimmy

I know these photos won't be of much interest to most of you,


 


but I wanted to post and comment on them for my girls and boys...

~ My first Easter, 1958.




I guess my Dad is taking the picture, as there is my Mom's




hand, getting ready to catch me if I fall!




(Which she would continue to do for a lot of years!) ~




We still have Uncle Harry's little rocking chair that I'm sitting in,




even though it was in the fire...




Restored by daughter Mandy and her boyfriend Jim ~




(Thank you again! ♥)

At our house in Bloomfield (1961) with my favorite person



in the entire world ~



(my other Grandparents would understand)



 Grandma Collier.



I'm sure the picture was taken by my sweet Mom,



as she was known for "cutting off heads"! :^)



Look at that cool (and I do mean cool, in winter...sticky in summer)



1950s gray vinyl couch!

 There I am with the Easter Bunny spoils!



I am just now noticing that the basket's handle must have always been wonky...



I thought that had happened with age!



(Thank you for looking at these, even if you are not one of my children!)



♥



Love,



Mom
