1. Beautiful!

2. My Mother was a big proponent of hats, pins, and jewelry…..
   So young……..and beautiful.

3. Love this picture, so feminine.

4. Great photo! I’m loving the dress too!!

5. Kris, forgive me for saying so — again — but your Mom was a stone fox. Any idea where this beautiful photo was shot? The building behind her, with the trucks in front of it, looks like a business. Thanx.

   1. I think the sign on the building says “Used Trucks”. It was somewhere in Detroit, were, I don’t know. Looks like she’s dressed for church but was there a used truck place around Plymouth?

6. Interesting. Perhaps near the old Plymouth, hunh? If I had a hi-res version, I’d study the roofs at left, one of which looks rather unique. Thanx again.

7. Beautiful picture! Sometimes I almost wish that hats would come back into style.

8. Very pretty, Kristin – great smile, great hat, great dress and I bet she had fabulous shoes too 🙂

   1. Jo -She did always have great shoes.
      Sheryl – I sometimes like the way other people look in hats, but I don’t like wearing them myself.
      Sandra – I like the dress too.

9. Your mother is so adorable!

   1. I just realized that this photo was taken only three years after the one with her sister a few posts back. What a lot of growing up children do from 10 to 13 years.
