85 years young!

I'd like to share with you my very favorite pictures of my Mom. I'm sharing this with you in honor of her 85th birthday which is in a few days.

She was born and raised in the very exciting and fashionable NYC and if I might say did a good job of fitting in with the style of the times if this picture is any indication!


Linking up with Martha at Seaside Simplicity and her friends for Flashback Friday

    1. Hi Carol, Mom grew up on 100th and Lex.

      Now like you Dad was a Brooklyn boy.He lived on a few different streets ( hart st and kosciusko st) growing up, always walking distance from the church, St John the Baptist on Lewis Ave.

      I grew up on Long Island so I'm just guessing that's Bedford-Stuyvesant or maybe i'm wrong?!
