It is the day to acknowledge mothers. This is my mother with my daughter in 1974 (I think). Evidently, Shauna was telling a fish story of the one that got away.

I usually print some sort of card for Sue on these occasions. While Shauna doesn't look happy, it is a reminder of Shauna being put to sleep outdoors in the carriage in all sorts of weather. Does anybody still do that? Those kinds of carriages no longer seem to be in use.

Meanwhile, here is Shauna with her own kids about 16 years ago, I am sure that her own kids will do something for her today.
Here's another photo of Shauna and Danica that popped up when I was looking for the one above.
These photos and your commentary are both wonderful. But the real winner -- that last one. You can see the love.
ReplyDeleteCandids of ordinary moments in life are so precious. What a beautiful family you have!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely tribute to mothers, AC.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so sweet. Of course Sue deserved a very stylish buggy to push!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and lovely tribute to mothers.
ReplyDeleteThose candid photos that we sometimes hate turn into our favorites later on. I love all the pictures and memories. I'm going out to a Yemeni coffee shop with my daughters today. First time ever.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful group of meaningful pics.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely and great photos! Happy Mother's Day to Sue and Shauna :)
ReplyDeleteSweet memories and fine photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to all the wonderful, beautiful moms in your family.
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely women in your life, then and now.
ReplyDeleteI never realized how much Shauna and Sue look alike. Good mothers seem to run in your family.
ReplyDeletethank you for share the moms in your life.
ReplyDeleteThose old prams, babies sleeping outdoors in the fresh air, and handwritten cards feel like echoes from a gentler, slower world that somehow survives through family stories and faded photographs.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you include all Moms in your family.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful women. I can see a bit of you in your mother.
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos, as always.
ReplyDeleteMy mom would have been 101 April 4th. She died Mother's Day Weekend, as did Joe's mom. Tough one for us.
What beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI love that carriage, it looks so elegant!
