I never thought of that then, but I do think so. She's an amazing woman now.

Simplicity and a great connection with the camera certainly made for a beautiful shot!

She was! Isn't it neat to look back at old work? It's not really on the same level, but I love looking back at drawings from grade school.

I love how power and affecting the gazes of a child can be. There are photos of my children that I will and can never forget. This is just wonderful.

I had a few days of summer but mostly it's spring as usual. This weekend we go to a wedding in Chicago and I'm hoping to have a chance to run around and enjoy a vacation too. Not enough really warm days so far for me.

You were close. It's is Alex's mother. She modeled for me when I was a new art student.

I guessed it's Alex's Mom - they look too much alike not to be close related.
And I guess you had to beat off the boys with a stick when she was a teenager.

She used to complain that she couldn't get a boyfriend or keep one for long. But she was engaged at 17 and married at 18 so it didn't matter much after that.

Married at 18 seems awfully young, especially as my daughter is 21 and I still think her too young for serious relationship.

It would be interesting to see what Laurie would think now about the age. But she's been married to the same man and that says something. I think she was ready.

My parents hit 60 on Thursday. I wonder what they thought back 60 years ago as they looked into the future.
