Friday's Favorite Family Foto

Me--1964

Mama and I were enjoying some sun one day in 1964, when she took this picture of me in our backyard. We were living in a house on my paternal grandfather's farm. There were several houses on his property and the one we lived in was known as, "the house at the end of the lane." This farmhouse was at the end of the gravel road that led from a main road and cut through the farm. Below the house flowed the Red River and there was also an old slave graveyard. Fun was had with that graveyard every now and then. I was 1 1/2 years old in this picture. I am probably trying to figure out where I am going to sit in the water because there are so many toys in this little wading pool. Mama loved to have us amongst toys. When I was older, people would tell me that they remembered visiting when I was a baby and mama would have me in the middle of the playpen, surrounded by toys. There were so many toys that the only way they could tell I was in the playpen, was if I moved. I guess it was the same situation with the wading pool. Oh yeah, and it looks like my hair is in those pincurls. Tight pincurls.

Y'all wade on over and visit my hostess, Deborah, to check out more Family Fotos.
