Happy birthday to my mother and her sister, 94 and 93 years young.
This family photo was taken in Bellerose, Queens, New York, in 1939. I don’t think I have ever shared it before; if I did, it was many years ago. The address was 248-50 89th Avenue. Mom said the photographer had only one hat and one neckerchief, so Mom wore the hat and her sister wore the neckerchief.
I am so glad this little moment was saved.
