Wow! When I look at this picture of you Mom, it takes me back places i have never been yet are strangely familiar. Perhaps the little girl in the swimsuit there in the middle seems so familiar to me because she was the one ever-quietly-present and watching from inside the much different mom who raised me?
wild!
On a completely different note, I can NOT believe that Charlie Fisher allowed you to have the swimsuit your little friend borrowed - showing belly-button?!!!
Love you Mom!

Poor Francis was such a skinny little waif in those days (the rest of her family were normal-sized) that it was amazing she could even get the suit to stay on in a respectable manner - on me, it fit quite properly - no unauthorized skin showed at all.
That "sidewalk" behind us was at the top of the steps to the seawall - you can just get a glimpse of the Lake behind Francis.
Remember those old clamp-on skates with the metal wheels? My family occasionally came out here for picnics (a New Orleans tradition back in those days to get away from the heat). I was allowed to skate a designated distance on that sidewalk in either direction - Daddy pointed out markers which were my endpoints where I had to turn around and skate back the other way - probably in the vicinity of a half-mile all together.
Ah, the freedom, the breezes .... my version of what Cheryl's bike was to her ......
