63 years ago

March 26 1961 my baby brother was seven years old, my other baby brother was five months old and I was 9 1/2. 


It must have been close to Easter that year as my baby brother has a bunny amongst his seven candles. 

Not sure who the hair dresser was most likely my Mom...those bangs of mine will take a long time to grow out..those curls were made with those spongy pink hair rollers.

Happy Birthday to my baby brother! Welcome to your 70's.

  4. You mom had a built in babysitter with you being that much older than your baby baby brother. On that day back in 1961, I was still 18 months or so away from even being born!

  5. I love your hair. My Momma triedto cut bangs for me. Either I wasn’t still or she had no hair cutting skill.

  7. Happy Birthday! Love that picture. Your other baby brother wants some cake!
    I had a haircut that was very similar. We slept on the pink rollers every Saturday night for church the next day.
    Blessings,

  9. Happy Birthday to your brother! What a cute picture of all of you. I've always had bangs until a few years ago when there was bangs and then a big hole on both sides of them caused by my receding hairline....bye bye bangs!

  11. That's a great photo!
    I remember those pink spongy rollers. They were easier to sleep on that the wire mesh ones.

  13. I remember having very short bangs that took forever to grow out and sleeping on those spongy pink rollers on Saturday nights so that I had curls for church on Sunday... as if God cared what my hair looked like!

  16. Happy Birthday to your baby brother! Glad he could join the decade of three score and ten! Someone said one time that you are not 70. You are seven perfect "tens". So there you go.

  19. In 1961 I was 5. Had similar hair style. I remember the pink squishy rollers, easier to sleep on than the spiky kind!
