Allee Willis’ Kitsch O’ The Day – Happy Mother’s Day In Matching Outfits

Dated Mother’s Day, 1951, this is a photo of the Smith family who lived in my house long before I bought it. My driveway never looked so good. Neither did mom, matching her family like a set of pristine bowling pins or Melmac plates.

   OMG – they owned that trailer before my parents did. But nothing in my family ever matched – except the neuroses.

   I agree that I want to know what happened to them but I also would love to see what that tree looks like now. It’s had to have been 50 years at least and they had just planted it. A photo would be great if the tree still exists.

   John- That tree didn’t even make it to 1980 when I moved in. My next-door neighbors, whose parents built their house and were wee ol’ ladies by the time I moved in, were not especially adept at gardening.
