9. That is a very lovely photograph. I love those glasses.

[CTyankee]

10. Thanks. The glasses were so "in" then. And the dress was a minidress, another hallmark fashion of the late '60s.

neither of us is old! We are just got trapped in old ladies bodies and can't find the exit door!

1968-I was 28, 2yrs. married and living in Manhattan.

There are photos of her in that time period that your photograph reminds me of.

15. That's a beautiful photo -

I would've been turning 2 that summer

My mom would've been 24, and my dad 22. My dad is still doing well up in Wisconsin.
