| My Mom / Sandra Lansdowne 1950's |
I wonder if this was the robe from a holiday story told over and over
again. One year when my parents were first married my Mom was needling
my Dad about what he got her for Christmas. They were driving back home
from dinner and she was guessing and finally my Dad snapped at her "quit
asking I am not going to tell you that I got you a robe for
Christmas!". She got very quiet, and he did not know at first that he
had spilled the beans. I love that story. She often got a robe at
Christmas when we were kids, probably a repeat gift bought with warm
memories of one of their early holidays together.

I love this picture of my Mom, she reminds me so much of my old assistant Lola Cash. Something about the tilt of her head and her smile, and of course her waif like figure.

No wonder I like aluminum trees so much, they really were abundant in my childhood. I love how I have so many pretty black and white pics of Mom posing with wrapped presents in the 50's and then boom, the 60's come along, living color, and it is all bout the kids and posing with unwrapped presents. Yes we were rather spoiled. I still have the clown doll on that table.
