ReplyDeleteDear Genie - What a lovely virtual view of a trip through time with your Mother. I don't have that many photos of my Mom, because she did not like to have her photo taken. These are wonderful, a truly nice memory and I really liked the fact that she was spunky. Thank you for sharing with us.
ReplyDeletewow, you really do look a bunch like your mother. gorgeous photos. have a happy Mother's Day!! ( :
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tribute to your mom...and dad too!!!
ReplyDeleteMy middle name is Eugenia...Is that your first name??? I think we're the only two Eugenia's I've ever known...other than Princess Eugenia in England!!! (I was named after both of my grandfathers)
such a lovely woman she seemed to be. :) Great memories for you.
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of her in the field with the very long hair. She just looks carefree and happy. Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful photos of your mama with all of us... xox Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a loving and beautiful tribute to your mother. She was a pretty woman, in all her years, and I know that your memories are golden.
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
His mother was very beautiful, nice old photos!
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
I believe your mother will be really pleased... I love the old photos...
ReplyDeletethey are like a monument. A new monument can't compete with an old one... it's the power of history.
I wish you a nice week !
Hi there - thanks for the comment - my mothers days focuses on my wife and kids. Lost my own mum over 35 years ago.
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
What a nice post, I love all the old photos. It is a nice tribute to a life of a beautiful woman.
ReplyDeleteStunning woman and a well told story through pictures. Have a happy day Genie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of photos of your mother. She looks such an interesting character - a person you would want to chat to and discover more about her life. At this moment I am staying with a friend in Wellington and later will be going to West Palm Beach airport to fly to NY.Such a coincidence as I read about your Mum being in West Palm.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, fantastic charm of memories:) Greetings
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post in honor of a lovely woman! (She raised a lovely daughter in you, so that is no surprise.) Your mother led a full life and keeping her spunky personality until the end is no small achievement!
ReplyDeleteLiked seeing the pics of you growing up in Florida! What a change.
A lovely tribute to your dear mum, she truly was an amazing lady I'm sure :)
ReplyDeleteGreat memorial post!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful tribute to a very beautiful lady, Genie! Thank you for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful woman and a beautiful tribute to your mum, Genie!
ReplyDeleteWarm greetings from Holland,
Anna :))
Great pictures. Love that college portrait!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had more photos of my own mother. She passed away when I was fifteen, so I only have those photos that were laying around in her photo albums, and a few snapshots of her from my own childhood.
A lovely tribute.
What lovely photo memories Genie!
ReplyDeleteGenie, what a lovely tribute and post on your MOM. Your photos are lovely! Lots of great memories! Have a great evening and week ahead.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful series ... and tribute to your mum. My favourite is the college shot. I am sure you enjoyed doing this post as much as I did (i did my mum too:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful tribute to your beautiful mother. Wish you Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteExcept for a few special professionals, we seem to have lost the art of portraiture. It's not just that your mum was beautiful, there's something special about the way the photos have been taken which draws that out.
ReplyDeletehow fast decades pass. my dad was the same, tying to leave the home whenever he could sneak out. tended to streak too. unfunny how the mind goes.
ReplyDeleteyour mom looks wonderfully happy through the years.
Oh,Genie, I loved seeing all of these. Wonderful that you have all those photos.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photos of your mother, she has smiling eyes. Wonderful to have those old photos to look back on.
ReplyDeleteEugenia,
ReplyDeleteJust saw this. We just had a Gee & Jenson reunion and, as always, your dad was the topic of a lot of discussion.
We had a website at GeeJenson.org on which we have included Gene's History of Gee & Jenson.
