For such a short month, February has been non stop jam-packed for me.. but before diving into the doings for this month..
Let me share THE EVENT of January..
handsome BIG BOY BRAX..
Both mommy and daddy celebrated their birthdays ..
but Brax commanded front row center for activities..
Moving right along into February, Mardi Gras activities have dominated the coast from New Orleans on..
To get into the spirit, I've photographed Mardi Gras Trees,
Masks..
and even a Mardi Pooh!
Then..my darling daughter celebrated her 50th birthday on the 4th! Grand daughter Mac supplied me with pics of the fun surprise for Lisa..
on my return Nikon and I had a field day playing along 30A..
that awesomely beautiful scenic by-way meandering along the coast..
On the 10th, remembered my mom on her birthday with flowers....she would've been 94! Below is the last photo made of us together..I was headed back to California..
This was June 1971,she was 52..I was 26..
she passed away a week later..
Now, on the last nite of Mardi Gras..we change gears for Valentine's Day.. Yep mailed all my cards to my grands, their parents,my kids, my sis Di..and one to my hubby! But we will be celebrating the event this weekend!This was June 1971,she was 52..I was 26..
she passed away a week later..

My mom died in 1971 too, way too young. And like you with your mom, the last time I saw my dear mom I was heading to California.
ReplyDeleteI like those coastal houses on the beach.
Happy birthday to your daughter.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of you and your mom - such a treasure.
Oh, your photos are so beautiful! Look at that Brax! He has changed so much and grown!

Brax really demolished that cake, didn't he! Happy birthday to your daughter! She has your pretty eyes! Love your coastal pictures! We are never ready to give up our parents! I lost my mother at age 4 and I have no memory of her, except a few scenes of her funeral :(
ReplyDeleteGreat pics................I had those white go-go boots around that same year!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you lost your mom at such an early age, that was so hard for you. Mine lived to be 91 and the 10th anniv. of her death is coming up. I still miss her so much!
Enjoy Valentine's Day..........you sound well-prepared.
