I was digging through a box of memories last night to show Boo something and found an old favorite….that’s my mom c. 1967. Ronald Reagan would have been Governor of California I think.
A few things I love about this photo:
1. My mom and her amazing dress.
2. Ronald Reagan looks so tall!
3. The “superman” telephone booth in the background.
Fact: Did you know that President Reagan designated Martin Luther King Day a national holiday?
Fact: President Reagan was a devoted diary keeper! In his 8 years as President he wrote in his diary EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. That’s what inspired me to start my 5 year journal!

Oops, just realised that I can leave a comment down here without Facebook. I used my page above because my profile picture shows my hair.
Why do you keep such a treasure in a box? You absolutely need to frame it! You mum is beautiful, and her dress is fantastic! I really need to start keeping a diary!

So. Incredibly. Awesome. And Boo looks just like your Mom. And that dress is absolute perfection. Maybe it will inspire a future a Lil’ Blue Boo line!

You are so sweet to show this wonderful memory of my life! God is so good to show this little country girl such favor with a full Senatorial scholarship to U of Md., a year of trips and gifts, in my county newspaper every few weeks!! I have been truly blest with a loving husband and you, Ashley, Boo and Mr. LLB and your siblings and their families. Love you all forever, mom

I think this makes you descended from American royalty ;-).
