“My sister performing in our elementary school play ‘The Little Engine That Could’ in the early nineties. She was the ‘happiest birthday train’ and she nailed it.”

The Motel 5
“My Nana won a radio contest for a family portrait. The session ended up being held in a motel & Nana thought it would be a good idea to wear a strapless dress. Turns out that it looked she had no clothes and the girl in her lap (my aunt) has a devilish smile.”

Side Eye
“Over 60 years ago, my parents had a picture done professionally of my two older sisters and me. This was one of the ‘proofs’ they received. My two older sisters have now passed. I showed this to a friend who sent me one of your cards and suggested I send this to you. My middle sister had no idea why she had the ‘sideways’ eyes, but it has brought a lot of humor to our family for many years.”

Prairie Home Companions
“This is me when I was 2 1/2 yrs old and my sister was 5 yrs old. Our last name is really the Waltons and we loved to watch Little House on the Prairie as a family. Mom loved to sew and make matching outfits. This one by far was the most eye catching with the matching bonnets with the dresses.”

Thriller
“It was just your typical church directory picture from Olan Mills, until my son went to art school, enlarged it and superimposed Michael Jackson into it. This was featured in a school-wide Mother’s Day show with the title ‘My mother dated Michael Jackson.'”
