Saturday Snapshot--May 7, 2011

This meme is hosted by Alyce from At Home With Books

To participate in Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken. Photos can be old or new, and can be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. All Alyce asks is that you don't post random photos that you find online.

It's the day before Mother's Day so I thought I'd honor mine by having her be the subject of my Saturday Snapshot. This is July 19, 1965... the day before I was born. I think she looks pretty good!

  

My mom went into labor, cooked dinner for my dad and his friend, cleaned up (this was the '60s after all) and WALKED to the hospital carrying her own suitcase (my dad was with her, but in a cast up to his hip and on crutches). 3 hours later, out I came! I'm sure I've been just as easy ever since. Or, maybe not.
