HA! I was looking at my May posts I completed, and I assumed I’d written a Mother’s Day something about my mom. But I was misremembering. I had written about my sister Marcia for her birthday this week, and that post is largely ABOUT my mom.
So I decided the heck with it and picked some photos off Marcia’s Facebook, most of which I don’t believe I’ve posted before.
Here’s my mom with HER mother, Gertrude Williams, and my sisters Leslie and Marcia, in her red wig period.
My mother with her mother’s people, the Yates, including Gert (2nd left), her aunts Charlotte and Deana. I have no idea what she’s looking at. This is in Binghamton, NY.
Mom with our family friend Betty, probably at the latter’s home near Binghamton.
I could ask someone who Sammy is, but this predates my father being on the scene.
Mom with her middle granddaughter, Alex, Marcia’s daughter, in Charlotte, NC.
Mom with her eldest Yates cousin, Raymond.
Mom with her eldest child, in Binghamton.
Mom with her eldest child, in Charlotte.
I will say that, unlike THIS mom, my mom hardly ever swore, and not just in front of her kids.
