The photograph has those scalloped edges which were common in Kodak
prints from the 50's. That's about the only way to date this. That and
I didn't see either of my brothers as babes or toddlers in the pic so
maybe they weren't born yet, either. That would put it around 1951 or
52.

I do resemble my mother, much more now that I'm older. None of us kids
really look very much like either parent.

I like the outfit Mom was wearing. Looks cool and comfortable!

As for the chicken, meh. I hope that's not all they had to eat.
