My Mom - Kay L. Larson (Nichols)

Here is what I have been doing lately, in between getting our camper loaded, cleaning my car inside and out, getting applications and business plans to lenders, and having time for our anniversary. Spending time with my daughter and her family, talking with my son, and walking our dog. Not much, huh? These pictures are of my mother, the first page is with her biological mother Edie Gilbert. My mother was born to Edie and Adelbert Tarbox, so I imagine prior to her being adopted her name was Kay Louise Tarbox. My biological grandparents didn't make it and my grandmother kept her oldest daughter for awhile, Marjorie (my mother's biological sister); but eventually the way I understand it; both were adopted out. My mother knew her mother and sister, and her mother lived behind my mothers' Aunt and Uncle who adopted Margie. I think this was very difficult for her, understanding while she was growing up. I think she always felt she wasn't wanted, because she wasn't right there with them. But, eventually I believe she came to realize the blessing she had with the parents that adopted her.

The school pictures I've put circles around my mom, so later on people will know which one is her. The last page, the picture is peeling, but it looks like it was a Christmas picture, with a tree bough and ornament in the background. She was and is very pretty! I hope you like them. Not sure of the dates of these pictures or where they are taken; but I did the best I could with them.
