Happy Mother’s Day: mothers and babies — 7 Comments

  1. As a child, I always thought of my grandmother (mother’s mother) as a plumpish, grey haired, kindly old lady. It wasn’t until years later that I came into possession of many professionally-taken photos of her in her twenties. She was absolutely beautiful back then! For some reason, I was shocked – I guess because I had so misjudged her appearance.

    I learned from that experience, though. Now, when I see an older woman, I try to imagine what she looked like when she was young. Many times I find myself thinking, “Man, I’ll bet she was a real beauty 50 years ago.”

  2. GREAT PICS. LIKE YOUR BLOG VERY MUCH. I NEVER MADE THE TRIP FROM LEFT TO RIGHT THAT YOU DID.

  3. Snopercod, I have had the same experience. I thought of my Grandma Lind, my Mom’s Mom, in the same way, until I saw photos taken of her in the mid 1920’s. My Grandma was a Foxy Flapper!

  4. I’ve seen this post before, but I’d never noticed the look on your great grandfather’s face before. Every grandfather with a grandchild on his knee has that look. To have that look in your eye is to have done something right.

  5. I understand that throughout the nation, there is a war going on between “progressives” and “conservatives.” (Public radio being public radio, of course, the “conservatives” are the one wearing Hillary for President t-shirts while the “progressives” are wearing Bernie Sanders for President t-shirts and have posters of Mao and Che hanging up in their offices.) In the city where I live the “progressives” have won out, so most of the classical-music programming has been jettisoned in favor of programming of interest to “the Community.” So how did it celebrate Mother’s Day? By broadcasting an interview with Maya Angelou (ooops, sorry–“Doctor” Maya Angelou) and her son. This makes only the gazillionth interview or feature they’ve done on “Doctor” Angelou in the three months since the format change.

  6. Posting pictures of these mugs has become a fine tradition. I look forward to next year.
