Poodle Skirts 1956

 I feel certain that either Mother or Mimi made this fantastic poodle skirt. They were the rage and you can see how proud Paula is of her new skirt. And take a look at how dapper Bryan looks. They were quite a pair. I was 10 years younger than my brother and 6 years younger than my sister, so I grew up completely different circles and in a different time and place than my siblings.

Christmas 1957 with Granny Hart

 For some reason there were very few pictures of this Christmas. We always had Christmas on Christmas Eve at Granny's (Merphia Ewing Hart) house. Then on Christmas morning, we had our tree at home. We would then go to Crowell, Texas, to spend the day with Mother's family, Ava and Joe Carroll Jones.
