We started our new year with a trip to visit my aunt Loretta. She is my mother’s sister. My mom’s birthday was the day after Christmas and after my mom died we started a tradition of visiting my aunt on my mom’s birthday. Except this year, we got a huge snow storm on that day….so we had to postpone the trip…and we ended up going on January 1st.
My mother loved my aunt dearly and admired her so much…she was the glamorous older sister. My mom would constantly tell stories about how adventurous and daring her sister Loretta was….and how she yearned to be like her. At almost 88, she is still full of energy and fun. I am glad that my children are getting to know her.
i love that old picture! glad you blogged it…you kids will love seeing it as they get older.
