1925 and Beyond

"Rainbow Fairies"  It's 1925 and my mother is seven. She's the tall one second from the right --- and I've unearthed yet another scrapbook in my workroom cleanup. My grandmother was a meticulous recorder, and I'm enjoying this look at my mother's past.

                        First grade-- look at the clothes and the Very Serious expressions. There are samples of my mother's schoolwork in each grade but I'll spare your those.

Wilson Junior High in Tampa, Florida. My mother's alma mater . . .and mine and John's as well. What's more, the same principal (Miss Bush) was still in charge.

Girls just gotta have fun--even during the Great Depression.
