Finally! My Mother's Day post...(Thank you for all your sweet comments already!)
Here is my Mom, Betty Lou Collier ~ her first "studio" photo...

This one is my favorite!

So pretty!

I think these are so elegant! Mom had them taken when visiting New York City in the late '40s...

My first Christmas, 1957 ~ Mom was 31.

Mom and me, about 1961...

She stayed beautiful all her life...

I think this is so sweet; it's something Mom got for her Mother, my Grandma Elphia, for Mother's Day in the early '30s...I accidently broke the glass on its little frame not long ago, and decided it was a good time to scan it before replacing the glass.

Now for my Mother's Day...(here's just a small portion)...
Beautiful roses from daughter Katie...
♥
♥
Such a cute card from daughter Mandy!
♥
Pretty Gerbera Daisies from son Jonathan...
My oldest son Mark is making me a wonderful swing using the same pattern as one my Grandpa Launius built around 1920 ~ really a unique design ~ photos of that to come!
I hope each and every one of you had a fabulous Mother's Day!
