Last week, I introduced you to Maw Maw & Grandad. Not only was I lucky enough to live near them, I was actually lucky enough to also live near Mom and Pa Pa.
They lived on a ranch about 20 minutes away from us, so we saw them lots and always had loads of fun at their place.
I inherited my love of baking and shopping from Mom. She’s great at both.
While I was in NM last month, Arle and I spent a morning hanging out with Mom (Pa Pa passed away in 1998). We started looking at lots of old photos and I was reminded of how much Mom’s and my mother’s baby pics looked like me when I was a baby.
Mom as a young woman looked just like my mother as a young woman.
Anybody who has ever met my mother comments on how much I look like her…definitely a compliment, in my opinion.
Have you ever wondered what you’ll look like in 20 years? 50 years?
I’ve always said I know what I will look like in my 50s and my 80s.
Basically, my mom looks just like my grandmother and I look just like my mother, therefore I’m assuming I will look just like my grandmother someday.
Am I making any sense here?
Here’s a pic of my mother to show you what I will look like in my 50s (that’s my sassy sister on the right):
Here’s a pic of my grandmother (again, sassy sister on the right at her graduation):
I realize these aren’t the best pics to prove my point (since I’m not even in these pics and my mom is wearing sunglasses), but trust me.
I must say I’m pleased with what I have to look forward to. I think those are two good looking ladies, if I may say so myself.

I can’t believe how much you look like your Mom!! That is so fun… and definitely a compliment! She is one pretty lady! Hope we’re still friends when you’re that age :)

Definitely would be a great thing. You’re all beautiful. Now I don’t know if I look much like my mom (definitely not our coloring).. but If I can be as skinny as my mom still is when I’m 60+ I’ll take it. Although I think my love for tan skin has ruined my chances of having as few wrinkles as she does.

How can you lose w/ all those fabulous genes?! From Mom to your mom, and we can’t leave out Aunts Melissa and Kathi, the could’a been twins look-alikes, w/
Lexi-Lou bring up the rear. Just a pretty neat bunch of gorgeous women.
Love you all!
