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! ♥)

Oops! I don't think anyone said "Say cheese" for this photo!

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

I love all these pictures so much! Thanks for sharing them! I hope you had a great Easter ;o) (The gray vinyl couch made me laugh! LOL!)
ReplyDeletegreat shots all -- enjoyed the hop through Easter memory lane. and we had a vinyl armchair like yours but in a light color. hadn't thought of it until I read your description. with that type of upholstery, it is probably still in use somewhere :)
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful memories of Easter, Anne, and you were such a cutie! Some of my happiest childhood memories are also from Easter. I still miss my mom's Easter baskets she made me, as I got to the teens, less and less candy and more perfume, bath items, makeup, but always some milk chocolate eggs, a package of yellow chick Peeps, a bag of all black jelly beans, and a chocolate bunny on top. xo
ReplyDeleteThose of us of a 'certain age' are transported back in time by those photos!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at vintage pictures. You were a cute little girl.
