Saturday Snapshot
February 12, 2011
This picture was taken by my uncle in August of 1954. Shortly after my parents were married, my father was deployed for close to a year. My grandmother insisted that my mother come home while he was gone. This picture was taken at my grandmother’s house when he returned.

Love it!
They look so happy!

Another glimpse of the past. You can tell this was a happy occasion.
I’m enjoying your old photos.
What a beautiful couple! So what do you think her waist was , 21 inches, less? My mom was the same – don’t know how they did it!
Beautiful photo, Kathy! I don’t know which one of them looks happier…
Thank you for sharing this.
I am in the process of finding old pictures and its bittersweet to see our parents so young. I see a strong resemblence to your mom.
Oh, how I love that you’re sharing these photos with us! This one is as wonderful as the others … it’s a treasure. Thank you, Kathy!
I love these old photos you share!
I love photos like that…a reminder of our family’s past.
Absolutely priceless and her suit is stunning.
Love it!
You and your mom have similar smiles — very nice photo.
Lovely photo, and love her suit.
I always love looking at old photos. Your mother looked so
glamorous.
Great photo! And I love your mom’s style. So classy.
Kathy you are your mother’s daughter, no ifs buts … you are the splitting image of your mom. I see class runs in the blood line.
I absolutely adore your photos, but you know that. My grandparents had a similar story of getting married and then my grandfather going overseas. How strange it must have been to be newlyweds and then have to separate for so long. I always think about how strong they were 🙂 Your parents are lovely.
I wish I could pull off a dress like that…. your mom looks great! Love the old pics!
Great photo! I enjoy seeing your family. It allows me to better understand/know you!
Oh, I love the old photos! They make me think of looking through my parents’ old photo albums, and remind me of another time.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
old photos are the absolute best! how gorgeous your parents are!
I just love these old photos! Such history, emotion and nostalgia 🙂
So beautiful!
Fantastic pic!
I love how formal she is dressed…what a gorgeous and wonderful picture!
I continue to love all these photos. I do think we lack that sense of style that all women had back then. It is sad really. I’m such a schlub!
I love these old photos you’ve been sharing. They are treasures.
What a great figure on your mom! 🙂
Such a beautiful couple!
