today is mom’s 86th birthday.
tomorrow we’re going to the “big suburbs” for massages and lunch, but i wanted to share some of my favorite photos with you today.
1943, high school graduation, New Orleans, LA (my mother has always been a true fashionista)
her handsome 19-year old Navy man
a southern gal’s one-and-only time on ice skates, 1945
with me, topless and with a new hairdo
with her son, who obviously had never seen a camera before
with her grandsons (mom worked in a library for 25+ years)
happy birthday!!!!!!!
is there any more pie? 
Lovely pictures–Happy Birthday to your beautiful mother.
Enjoy the day with your mom. What a lovely lady!
Happy Birthday, Ottis!!! You are a beautiful radiant woman in all ways.
How awesome to begin a new year being pampered.
Have Fun Ladies!!
My Love,
