My twenty-first birthday…

My Southern Heart, Reflections

It was December 1, 1966…our birthday. We had been married since September. It was my twenty-first birthday and Bill’s twenty-third. Looking at the photo here, I’m wondering how many candles were on that cake…quite a few!

Funny how clothing and hair styles come full circle. I wish I had this ensemble I was wearing then now. Soft pink wool vest with covered buttons, an A-line skirt in the same soft pink wool and a white silk blouse. Remember, my Mama was a wonderful seamstress. The only problem is…even if I still had it, I couldn’t get in it! I weighed all of 107 pounds here.

And, yes, I know. The hairstyle is still similar…just lots of silver now highlighted in blonde.
