WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - 1945
Ah yes. 1945. I was about 2 years old here, with Dad's army cap on.
He must have been home briefly on a leave from his work on the radar installation near Halifax N.S. Thank heavens he didn't go overseas.
Thank you! My Mom used to use rags to make ringlets of my very curly hair, trying to keep it under control. Too bad I never learned tapdancing - I used to love singing, though. :)
Oh, so cute! I recently posted a pic of me as a 2 year old, but my knees were chubbier than yours. At least we stayed upright for the photos. My hair was dead straight, so I had it kept short for the sake of tidiness until I started "really" objecting to the hairdresser :-)
Awesome picture. Your expression alone carries its own blog post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! I suspect this picture would be only the 3rd time I'd seen my Dad since I was born. Halifax was a long ways away from Vancouver BC.
DeleteThis picture reminds of a Shirley Temple movie. She was about that age tap dancing for US soldiers..... Very Nice keep sake
