A Coal Miners Daughter

[Ed Kennell 35,966]

No it's not Loretta Lynn.      

 

I found these pictures while searching through my albums  to make a slide show for my Mother's 91st birthday next month.

This is my Granddad holding his new baby daughter, my Mother,  in April, 1925. 

 

 

 

And 19 years later in Jan,  1944, My mother holding me.

 

 

 

Hope Mom enjoys the show.....I love the old black and whites.

Ed, enjoy the day with your mom. I remember my mom's 90th birthday party, seems like yesterday, but it was 15 years ago, it was a great time with several aunts and uncles present. Thanks for putting a smile on my face thinking about it.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

For all you B & W lovers, Here are a few more going in the show.

 

A few years later ~ 1947

 

 

 

   Yep that's me on the ponies that were used to work the farm in the summer and pull the coal cars out of the mines in the winter.. 

   And my first ride on a Harley "HOG" on butcher day.
