Snapshots

My mother has been divesting herself of pictures that were on the walls of the family room. Some I had copies of but some were Polaroids that I took just for her. My son scanned in several and posted them on Facebook.

These were taken in the summer of 1972. We lived in Texas then - Michael was turning four and Kama turning two. It was the summer I was pregnant with Meagan. Even then Michael was marching to his own drummer.

It was a long hot summer and my energy level was at an all time low. This photo makes me cry - as cute as they are hand in hand going down the road - I think they may have been planning to run away.
