Down memory lane....
In black and white photos.
I'm in the painstakingly slow process of creating a video for my mother's birthday April 18. (It takes me about 20 minutes to do one small task that I imagine takes 1 or 2 minutes for Jaime and Travis to accomplish, if that.) But it's been fun to go through old photos looking for just the right images from my mom's life. Here are two starring ME!
No doubt waiting for my mom to mend something I had torn. We were pretty dang poor, but we always had decent clothing and lots of toys. Note the jack-in-the-box on the sofa next to my mom. And notice how elegant my mother manages to look in such humble surroundings.
I think I was trying to look very piously at my rosary. Things sure have changed.... (Also, it looks like my younger sister, sitting behind my mom, is wearing glasses but if you enlarge the photo you'll see that someone used a stick-pin to punch out her eyes. Probably me. Sorry, sis!)

I love the photos and had thought to myself (before I read what you wrote) how great your mom looked. Classy lady. Are you going to share your video once it's completed?
When I enlarged the second photo, I also noticed that someone apparently drew an "X" on your face. Was that sister paybacks?
Those pictures are wonderful, Lori! The fact that someone (I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that it was you) poked her eyes out with a pin is priceless!
Keep trudging along through iMovie. It's a somewhat painful process. but Mary Evelyn is going to love it.
