Whew! I have, at long last, finished scanning and editing the last of the photos from my Mother's old album. The album had ended at about 1950/51, but a few extra pages were added that had a scattered selection from the '50s.
Among these extras were some photos taken the summer of 1953, which Grace spent in Texas with our Aunt Zudie and Uncle Bailey Thames. Aunt Zudie was our father's only sibling.
Aunt Zudie made Grace a lovely, full-circle dress, which she is wearing in the pictures. Grace was fifteen years old that summer.

| Grace and Aunt Zudie. Aunt Zudie was named for a relative named Missouri, but who was nicknamed Zudie. Aunt Zudie's parents just skipped the Missouri and went straight to Zudie. |
Thank you! My Mom was and is so pretty.
