An Old Tattered Picture

Here’s something that might be of interest to someone. At least it is of interest to me, ha ha.

Back on March 15 in one of my memes, I told about meeting my future husband in the summer when I was 11 years old while I was visiting in Oklahoma. After I went back to California, we started writing to each other. We wrote quite a few letters back and forth. During that time, I sent him this picture of me. He carried the picture in his wallet for years. That’s why it’s so tattered. Awe, isn’t that sweet? I think it is. We met in 1948. We got married in 1958.

This picture was made at the same time. See what good shape it’s in – not tattered at all. I was in the 7th grade here. I remember the skirt well because I made it. About that time I started doing a lot of sewing.
