Vintage Picture

Holidays are a great time to reminisce over precious memories especially old pictures! My dear friend Debbie Rojas, whom I met at age two, sent a “vintage” picture of her friends who attended her fifth birthday party. Laura thought this picture was so fun that I needed to post it.

Can you pick out myself and my sister, Terry? Terry is on the far right, I’m third from the left. We were often confused for twins but we are a year apart. My mother made our coats!

The boy second from left is now a pastor and father of six. My friend Debbie is on the far left, and the taller girl in the middle is her sister Kristine.  The girl second from the right is my another girlhood friend named Connie, but called “Puggie” by her family’s cleaning lady and it stuck!  “Puggie” had six sisters!  This picture dates from 1956. The apple tree behind us was a favorite neighborhood “jungle jim”. Look at the vintage car in the garage.

    The picture is so cute! I picked you out on the first guess. Just wondering who the little girl is with the big grin. I don’t think she was mentioned. Love the old car in the back too. Lisa

    Marilyn,

    I receive your urban homemaker email newsletter. I just saw the pictures of your daughter’s wedding. It saddened my heart to hear about her grandfather’s passing. Especially since her father passed on such a short time ago. But let me tell you, you are so blessed to have such beautiful children. It looked like it was a wonderful ceremony. May the Lord bless her and her husband throughout their entire marriage!

    God bless you!
    Praise Him in this storm, for He is present.
