Easter 1958?

I love this photo---I think I still have that book even. I saw some dresses in the store last week that reminded me so much of that dress I was wearing. I'm thinking Jane and I got those crosses for Easter.

I'm not sure why we had these photos made, but I do remember that they were made by Uncle Bill Wassmund in our basement with a bedspread hung behind us. Above is Grandma Wicker (Vennie), Dad (LeRoy), Grandpa (Wes) and Mom (Louise)

My sister Jane (above) with a flair for the dramatic went on to become a teen model for Boyd's clothing stores---can't you see it!Although, I definitely have the better dress (Jane probably wore it a few years later), the only thing in my future was braces on my teeth!
Here's another photo of Grandma and Grandpa---this might be one of the last photos of the two of them together since she died in 1962 and he died in 1965. Knowing Mom, she wanted one last photo of them before they died. What amazes me is she is only 55 years old and he is 60 in this photo---they had some hard living!

Although Easter was usually a Long event with eggs, lots of cousins and wild Easter egg hunts, it was also sitting quietly with my Grandparents Wicker in church. The best of all Easters---quietly worshipping and craziness with cousins.
