Commentary on the picture from the last post.

I think what started this all is that I remember the bathrobe that Mom is wearing. That is why I really like the picture. And yes, Mom is beautiful in this picture.

Dad could be in pajamas, or it could be a wool shirt and he has been out shoveling snow and plowing out the driveway before Christmas breakfast. Karla and I are obviously in our night wear. Jane seems to be in the costume of the cult that she had joined the week before. (Mom made her put her hood down for the picture.) Beth and Trudy look like they got home late the night before and are in the clothes they wore on their hot dates.

I love old pictures.
