FAMILY IN 1948

4-5-09...FAMILY IN 1948

Here is my family in 1948. Norman was only a few months old. This is the only family picture we ever had made at a studio by professionals. That was 60 years ago when things were simple and sweet. I remember Mama's dress. It was green. Daddy bought it in Oklahoma where he worked in the coal mines. He came home on weekends and always brought Norman and I something. This time Mama got a new dress also. Daddy wore khaki shirts and pants in a light brown color. My dress was yellow with green trim. Norman also had on yellow.
I cherish this picture. It is a part of my life that I will never forget. When I look at it I see love abounding, unconditional, and wonderful.
