my mom and dad

My mom sent me this picture this morning.

Some of my cousins are going through their parents' old pictures

and they came across this one of my parents.

My mom and I are trying to figure out when this was taken.

We landed on sometime in the 60s but we're not really sure about that.

We always had a Siamese cat in our house so that doesn't give much of a clue.

The fact that the bottom half of the house is solid green tells us that

this picture could have been taken shortly after the house was finished in the 60s.

But the grey hair 

- not sure about that -  

being that they would have been in their early 30s.

Then there's the fortrel dress.... 70s?

It's a bit of a mystery.

You can see my dad's amazing creativity in

 the wrought iron railing he designed and created.

The two gates in the fence were made to match.

He was a talented and resourceful man.

My mom's green thumb and her love for gardening shows itself too.

My parents are both smiling 

- serenely - 

because my dad is no doubt home for
the weekend from summer school.

Lots of good memories....
