Like Mother

I found this picture the other day. It is of my mom and dad and three oldest siblings. My brother Jon looks to be about 5, Jenny 3, and Wendy about 1. Then I had a mind-blowing realization. I am the same age as my mother in this picture. I have three children and a tall, dark and handsome husband.
All I'm missing is a sah-weet car and those killer horn-rimmed frames.
Oh yeah. . .and the class, beauty, wisdom, and grace of that wonderful lady.

Isn't she a classic beauty?

Happy Birthday Mommy.
