This is a cropped pic of my Mom from an old slide.. I remember that hat.. I loved it.. I had to do a little work on this, as there were a lot of marks and spots..but it didn't turn out too bad...

I just took notice of the ring on her finger.. I have that ring still.. It's white gold with an Aquamarine stone..and it was given to her by one of her sisters.. It is my birthstone and she gave it to me..

I just love that pic of your mom....what a grand hat....and I notice, that she, being a lady, also had her gloves....

Werent the hats our moms wore just great....many people, today, collect old hats from those days, and your moms would be a true treasure for a collector...

Our moms always had to have their hats and their gloves for church going and such...I look at old pics of my mom when she was in the PTA, when I was in grade school, and even at PTA meetings, all the ladies had their hats on...they wore their nice dresses, matching shoes and bag, a hat on the head, and gloves to finish off the outfit....those days, are long gone, but they were they days when our moms sure knew how to dress, and dress well....

Thats really wonderful that you have your moms ring that she passed along to you, and document it with her pic...

Speaking of hats, I remember when I was a kid, and we used to walk up every Saturday to our local theatre for the Saturday afternoon matinee for kids....we always had to pass by a small womens shop, that sold custom made dresses, on display in one of their windows, and the other window was full of hats, hats, and more hats...

We gals used to peer in through the window at all the hats, and peer further in to the mirrored dressing tables and the various ladies seated and trying on all the different hats...We could not wait until we were old enough to go to a hat store, and be waited on while we tried on hats...

I agree with andysmom
your mom dressed elegantly
I like the yellow flower she has on her yellow dress

does she know you only wear pants
and never wear a dress
and wore pants to your daughter's weddin'
I'm tellin'
Love, Palo
