ca1950 . . . this is a picture of my Mom holding me. Considering the picture is 60 years old I guess it’s not too bad. Pretty grainy and scratched – typical of b&w pics from that era.
Mom would have been 92 years old April 11th.
Hope your Mother’s Day is special and that all your younguns make you smile.
My goodness! Today would be an awesome day to make the drive down – it is GORGEOUS up here. But there are plans afoot for other things today. Hubby Moose and I had breakfast this morning after he got off work. He was a bit later than usual so I was able to finish the Word Search puzzle AND the crossword puzzle in the Anc. paper. I hardly ever do the crossword.
I promised a couple more pictures – so here you go:
We love a good play on words – so daughter needed to take this picture of me at the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitors Center. I had never gone inside this building so we took some time to walk through the exhibits. I think it will be a must see the next time we have some of the grands with us.
The play on words? “Fresh Waters” – yeah, that’s you and Dad, Mom, says lessa. Fresh kid! hahaha (for those of you who might not know – that’s my last name.)
The machine in the background was moving that pipe into position to block off beach access to vehicles. I was taking a shot of the sign, though. Be sure NOT to feed the wildlife while in Homer, or anyplace else in Alaska, okay?
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Institute of the North Endowment Fund, Providence Hospital, Commonwealth North or the Alaska SeaLife Center, so that each of these organizations can continue to help the next generation of Alaskans.
