Lots of rememberances on this day. The photo is of my mother-in-law lunching with her friends at the PVCC. She is sitting on the right, in the middle. I adored my mother-in-law who passed away 13 years ago. She was a homemaker, a seamstress, a golfer, and a bridge player among many other things, and was just wonderful to me. My dearest friend's birthday is also today. I met Annie in Junior High, when we were both fresh off the boat - I from former Yugoslavia, and she from Taiwan. It's been a long and strong friendship ever since. Happy Birthday dear Annie! Annie and Karl had their wedding reception at PVCC in 1985. As for Women's Day, when I was growing up in Yugoslavia, it was a day to honor women and mothers in our lives. I remember buying fresh bunches of violets and a pretty perfume bottle (all on my own) for my mom when I was 10, as well as small gifts for my favorite teachers. |

This caught my eye immediately. I could see my mother sitting with this group...this is how she looked in the 60s. Amazing! A step back in time.
And mine too. I remember going out to lunches and dinners with sorority sisters. Seems like the meals were always sirloin tips in gravy. Yum! Or maybe not. - Margy

What a lovely and historic image. I do not know Annie, but let me say: Happy Birthday dear Annie!
Such a nostalgic photo. Look how all dressed up they were, hats and all.
What a lovely post.
Your mother n law has a great face. Happy belated birthday Annie. Love the description "straight off the boat"
At first I wonderd if you had some friends dress up a if it was the 1960s. Your mother-in-law did have a very kind face.
Happy birthday Annie!
Great posting, on an important event !!

How wonderful to have had such beautiful relationships with your mother-in-law and Annie...the truest treasure in our world....
