Beautiful! The mother looks a great deal like my first mother in law! Sort of shook me up a little when I first looked at her. :)

Beautiful, Looking at the mother's eyes it looks like she has a story to tell us or she is very sad.

Back then...they didn't smile when taking pictures. I had shoes like the little girl...I was born in the fifties. They both look very stylish.

We never went to "Town" aka Pgh without white gloves & a hat on! Some very formal women even wore them when shopping locally :)

I remember my grandmother always wore gloves and her handbag matched her shoes. She said you could tell a lot about a woman by the shoes she wore and how she presented herself.

I so wish that I had been an adult during that time , I really feel as if I am in the wrong time and that I'm no longer part of this world that we know now . People have no manners , they dress like slobs , their children are completely out of control , they don't even teach their children how to dress before coming to school in the morning or brushing their teeth you know just general hygiene even with the women's movement I don't think that women have done themselves any favors it seems to me they just made it easier for men to use them and when they're done they're just old women who have been used and spent not a pretty picture . I will say I also don't agree with women who let their men do absolutely everything , they let them balance the checkbook and of course if they control the money which they usually do the Man controls the household there is no equal partnership and I'm talking only of marriage not even of the new culture which apparently it is fine to live together fine to make several children fine to do exactly whatever you feel like doing . I am just in the wrong place and time and if I had a time machine I know exactly which button I would be pushing it would not be 2015 .!

Este tipo de fotografías, me recuerda aquellos años felices cuando niño. Épocas tranquilas sin tanta locura, pero bueno, la modernidad tiene su precio, para bien o para mal, ahora, si me dan a elegir prefiero esos años.
