Mom circa 1950

Found quite a large assortment of old family slides in my step-dad's sock stuffed away in a box mom gave my husband who thought the contents were all xmas décor but underneath, hidden in a corner was the sock.  47 slides never seen before by human eyes maybe. 

And I keep asking myself what happened to the days when we got dressed up? I mean even to go to the store?  As I kid I remember walking with my aunt and mother through the Portland, Oregon Greyhound bus depot.  I can still see their fine wool suits, high heels, hair and make up perfect, lipstick on precisely.  Even at the age of 5 I knew they both were a class act.  All stopped to watch them gracefully stride by and then helped onto the bus to ride to Albany Oregon. 

 

 

This one is simply amazing, I keep looking at it.  So many emotions and qualities.  Stunning really.
