Long Time No Blog

It's been almost two months since I last posted. I'm not sure why I've been so lazy. I guess I needed time to think about what kinds of posts I'd been making. I was focusing too much on just genealogy and I'd like to branch out some.

Last week was my mother's birthday. More that 30 years ago, Mom told us (her children) that we didn't have to celebrate her birthday as long as we remembered Mother's Day and my parent's anniversary. I have dutifully followed her instructions ever since. However, I've been thinking about some of the pictures I have of my mother from her childhood and I thought I would share them. I love seeing pictures of my parents when they were young. It somehow makes them even more human in my eyes.
