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
One day later, Nikki would have shared my mother's birthday. She turns 18 tomorrow, the 21st!
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!

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! :))
