When my mother used to have it

This is a picture of my mom in Panama City back in 1980. She is the little blonde on the left. When I see old photo's of her now she reminds me of Nicole Richey. They are both thin, blonde, and wear BIG sunglasses. Now do you believe me when I tell you I look like my dad? Anyway, I was going through some stuff and found it. I showed it to Kat and Matt and their reaction was WOW! They never saw "grandmommy" looking like that!
I remember being the daughter of this woman who had all these men flirting with her. I probably didn't help matters much. Our taste in men (when I was 6 years old) was completely different because we had different agendas. Just because men liked her didn't mean she liked them. I remember a dress shop we were in one time and the man who owned it was there. He not only was flirting with mom but with me too. (Best way to get a date is going through the kid) I liked him a lot and suggested we ALL go get something to eat. Mom nixed the idea and got out of there. Another time I remember this blind date she got set-up with ( yes, I went with her) and he showed us his beautiful new home. In one of the bathrooms the sink was swirls of caramel and chocolate looking marble. What a great house I thought! We should DEFINITELY spend the night! When I suggested it the guy agreed with me but mom turned a few colors and made a bee-line for the door. I remember one guy who paid me 10 cents for every game I'd play of tic-tac-toe - BY MYSELF. (He had a game that played against you)
Now mom, she's a grandmommy. She doesn't date anymore. Doesn't get flirted with either... except when Matthew is after her for something.
