Old pictures
I was going through my grandmother’s photos, and I found this one. It really sums up how she was always so fashionable. Get a load of that hat!
Another really fascinating thing was getting a glimpse of her younger sister, Donna Belle, aka Donnie. I had always known the name and I’m sure I met her a handful of times, but I didn’t know her at all. Judging by the pictures, she was a real spitfire. Not only that, she was drop-dead gorgeous. She looked so much like my mom. My mom told me today about summers she spent with Donnie when she was a teenager, how she always had a great time because Donnie let her do scandalous things like kiss boys.
Donnie’s on the left; I believe the one on her right is their sister Elnora.
So pretty.
Ooh lah lah!
This was a book commemorating her senior year of high school. Check out what she listed as her favorite hobby. No wonder she was popular.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. My mother passed in November so I know what you’re dealing with. Those pictures of your mother and your Aunt Donnie are dynamite. I love old pictures like those.
Take care of yourself.
