Picture this

Blogging prompt from The Accidental Genealogist for March 2:
March 2 — Post a photo of one of your female ancestors. Who is in the photo? When was it taken? Why did you select this photo?
Janice_Diane_Burrell This is a photo of my mom (Janice) with her younger sister Diane. The youngest sister, Nancy, had not been born yet. I'm guessing Diane was about 1-2 years old here, so Mom would be about 6-7 years old. So, about 1944-1945. I just like this photo. It looks like it was taken at home. Mom's hair is cute and curly. I can really recognize her, even though she is so young in the photo. What I should do now is show the old family photos to Mom - to see if they awaken any memories, and see what she can communicate about them. It's difficult now because of her dementia and speaking in rhyme, but we try to glean the meanings of what she's trying to tell us.
