In memory of my mother Evie on Mother's Day
Evie holding me age 1 in 1960, on the back of my baby photos I am named as Lynette but it didn't stick and later I got called Betty. I was being kissed by our dog Talquin... the 60s decor continued throughout the next 20 years and had a strong influence in our home!

Happy Mother's Day to all Mums! says Betty as she eats her favourite Dark Ginger chocolate donated by youngest boy!

Those are lovely pics. You look very much like your Mother. I love her hair and the 60's decor. You inspired me to put a black and white pic of my Ma on my latest post!I love those old photos. Have a good day, Betty - don't eat all that choc at once!x
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy, happy Mother's Day to you, Betty! I hope your day is full of love and pampering!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures Betty ... It's a bittersweet day for those of us who no longer can visit our Mums ...

How lovely to remember your mum like that. When we look back at our decor although it was hideous now we too have fond memories. Betty we hope you have a really lovely day and have a super Sunday.

ReplyDeleteDark chocolate ginger? That gets my attention, and is a big thing to have in common with you. ;-) Also, we both have mothers - and your remembering of your mother here is very sweet. I love the pictures. Thank you!
