    My mom had that same hair.
    She's got that rebel expression in her eyes... or am I just reading into it?

    You have the same eyes. When I saw the little thumbnail of her eye I thought it was going to be a picture of you. It is a nice photo of your mom.

  • Susie said:

    What a beauty; you do look like her. The thing that strikes me most is the MISCHIEF in those eyes, in that smile. That girl is trouble. I'd hang out with her.

    Wow-so pretty!

    Old photos are so much fun! They have a character that modern kodak prints lack somehow.

    I like the self confidence in her picture.

    I have a picture of my mom from that time, too, and her's is filled with self doubt. She never really understood how beautiful she was.
