Sepia Saturday 105



Sepia Saturday 105 the Sat. before
Christmas.
Look at all the goodies.

Alan's theme "The Perfect Little Housewife" is more glamorous than my post but I am on theme this week.




This is my Mom in 1958 putting a coat of varnish on our living room floor.
As I have mentioned several times in my posting, she was a single mom working and raising three children by herself.
This was 2 years before my sister and I married.
I was working, having graduated in '56, my sister was a senior in high school and my brother was still in elementary school.
I never noticed until I posted this picture, that my mom was wearing blue jeans.
Probably a pair of mine.

This lady could get down and dirty or dress up and hob knob with the best.
A classy perfect ' lady of the house' who did what had to be done.
She was also the 'handy man.'
Don't remember her winning any prizes though.
Well maybe Mother of The Year, awarded by three very proud and inspired children.
