When I first saw this photo of my mother (to right with a friend) while still living in Germany, I couldn't believe she'd just turned 16! Seems all young girls want to look more sophisticated and mature than their age. A month after this photo was taken, she'd marry her sweetheart in British uniform, and, at 17, have me (the first of six).
Love to you always! xoxoxo

I am so thrilled for you, Nikk! Happy Birthday! xoxoxo

Doesn't Nikki look like her grandmother? She doesn't see it, but the older she's gotten, the more evident it becomes. xo

I love the old pics of grandma. She was so beautiful. She should have been a movie star. :)
So do I, Nikk! I found many more while I was looking through yours!

So you'll have them out when I come over on Thursday?
Sure will! :))
Looking forward to grandma's party! See you then, Aunt P! :)

Sigh.... just takes my breath away! Such a beautiful memory in the first picture. And oh my stars, marrying so young, they were just kids! ha ha
I wish both these beautiful ladies a wonderful birthday(s) and to many, many more!!!!
I know, Janeen! As I mentioned in the post, my mother did not look 16in this photo! I don't think it was until our generation, women waited to have children!
And thank you so for your birthday wishes, Janeen! I'll pass them along! :))
