Speaking of goofy juvenile humor, here is a photo from a family day at the beach. Aunts, uncles, cousins, good times.
But what I would like you to take note of is my mother, sitting front and center.
She is talking to a banana as though it is a phone.
But look closer. She is really TALKING. Like, she is giving that person on the other end of the banana-phone a piece of her mind.
The best part of the entire photo is that the rest of the family is barely paying attention.
Because why would you?
Although you can tell that my dad, lying next to her, is laughing.




I love the fact that there are no beach chairs…so Hodge-esque!
xo!
Katy – hahahaha Oh God, no, no beach chairs … we spent too much time in the WATER, that was the whole point!!
I also love the glimpse of my cousin Cecily in the background wearing my grandfather’s hat which has an enormous duck head coming out of the front of it, and huge yellow wings on the side.
It’s kind of a crazy photo when you really look closely.
I love your mom’s sweet perm, remember she and Babs both got them, they were HORRIBLE!
Yes!!
I am sure Coiffures Unlimited did a great business in PERMS back in the day.
