This photo is from 1959, taken in Wilburton, Oklahoma.
That's me on the far right, and my younger sister in the middle. The elderly woman in the picture is my great-grandmother-Edge, my mom's paternal grandmother. The other baby is my aunt - my mother's sister. My grandmother had a surprise in her early 40's. My sister and my aunt were born exactly one week apart, and as a result, the generations in my mother's family are very blended.
My haircut -- oh man. We'd traveled to Oklahoma that summer from California. My dad was being stationed overseas, and my mom wanted her and the babies to be in her hometown, so we headed east like a family of gypsies. We stopped at my Dad's grandmother's house in Eakley, Oklahoma, where my Great-Granny-Fanning's husband gave me a haircut.
He surely did. He cut my bangs off right to my hairline! My mom had a FIT, but it was too late. The damage was done, and I had to wear that haircut for the next several months. Mom solved part of the problem by giving me a permanent so that my hair was at least curly, but this photo was before my hair was even long enough to wrap around the permanent curlers.
I don't remember much about that day, other than it was HOT. And the shade on the porch in the swing was COOL. And Becky didn't want to SIT in Grandmother Edge's lap.
