This is Piglet.
With her grey curls, which was a thing back then, because she is not that old.
Her eyebrows are so hip now. How did she know?
A seductive echelle, blue-ribbon untied, what was she thinking
I doubt it was about chocolate.
And one gold loop, not two, trying to be a modern girl without a pearl earring.
I tell you this Portrait has a story.
Coquette!
------------------
Here is Barbara (Frank is her Husband and they love France. I have had the pleasure of meeting them.)
in her university days. Guess the year? When I was a kid I was dreamy about the fluffy feather collar that graduates
wore for their portrait.
I (Chris) wanted to share with you a small 10-bead rosary that my husband found on our street when we lived in Hudson, Ohio years ago.
He was walking and looked down and saw this. It looked quite old and special. At the time there was no Facebook or neighborhood app to post a Photo, so I took a photo and made copies, and put it in all the mailboxes on our street. No one ever claimed it. Later, I was shopping for a new medal of the Virgin Mary for my husband at a religious store, and I told the clerk the story. She said maybe no one claimed it because it was intended for us! It has remained special to me ever since. I even carried it in my pocket when we spent our time in Lacoste France while my husband taught there for a quarter at SCAD's campus.
We titled this photo "Aquaboy!"
His superhero "mask" is a pair of swim goggles, his cape a pink baby blanket, and his sword a paper umbrella."
Judy tried to identify herself in the portraits above she thought she was the one on the bottom on the far left.
NOPE, you are the couple in the first couple from the bottom in the middle... with Bill.
Please tell everyone your MUST BE A MOVIE love story.

"Well, I have two actually, if that is ok...one is of my lovely Dad as a wee toddler, sitting on his father's knee looking sweet and chubby...the other of my Mum sitting on her own holding a little soft toy....my Mum was adopted as her mother got pregnant when unmarried and had to give up her lovely baby...a heart-wrenching thing that it seems she never recovered from...my mother did not meet her, finding out who she was a few short years after her mother had passed away...she compensated for her life being difficult by adopting three babies herself, my three siblings...six of us all together..those photos are on my stairs...both my parents passed away, my Dad just a couple of years ago. I say Hi to them each time I go past the stairs! I love all the miniatures by the way, so many amazing faces, and goodness know so many stories behind each that would be wonderful to explore! Cheers from Jennifer"
