Groovy

This is my mom. Her nickname is Groovy, given to her by her granddaughter
some years back. I won't tell you her age, she'd smack me into next week if I did.
She's been married to my dad (hit "Next" for his mug) for 64 years -- but they got
married VERY, VERY young. :-)

Although this is just a snap candid, perhaps it reveals something of what
may have been on her mind that day -- the day before Thanksgiving,
and three days before her granddaughter got married.

How rare to see a senior with such a stylized studio type background. I'd like it a lot even if it were not your mom. Voted

She has a deep beauty, Gary! The years have not taken that away. She has the most beautiful blue eyes. And the name fits her perfectly!!!!!

Your Mom looks great for putting up with you and your Dad. She still has a great spirit in her eyes. My parents had just celebrated their 64th anniversary when my Dad passed away. Truly remarkable people, mine and yours, to keep the enduring spirit and love of life for so long.
