    This picture is of my mom out shoveling snow on the streets of Brattleboro VT the winter of 1950... And talk about snow!! You've got to be from some pretty hardy stock to live up there. She's now 85 years old, lives on her own, and is still going strong.... Like I said, good stock!!
    Wow! Check out the second photo... Phil worked his magic like the Wizard of Oz.... Now we're in color!!!! THANKS PHIL!!!!!

    Now I've mixed them up. I put one of Phil's first....

      Thank you toolate2, it was a pleasure to work on your photo and I actually had a lot of fun working on it, I love the photo also. Finding the dog there in the snow was the crown jewel. The photo is now where it belongs - roaming forever in your minds once more !

      Sorry to see the updated photo date and the loss of your wonderful mother. My condolenses. I was not as lucky to have my mother around so long, as my mother died when I was 22. I remember the fun I had colouring this photo 2 years ago.
    44. kerry10456 kerry10456, 8 years ago
      Like Phil, just read the Headline..... Condolences
    45. toolate2 toolate2, 8 years ago
      Thanks guys. She was a remarkable lady. Her last couple years weren't the greatest but her attitude was always one of thankfulness and joy for what life still offered. Thanks again Phil for the wonderful work you did one the old picture here...

      Brattleboro is certainly a challenge during the winter months. My oldest son was born there in 1980.
