Redolently

The lilacs are starting to bloom and really smell good.

Intensity

Mom, pouring over her sewing with great intensity.  And her sewing machine is still in use, 60ish  years later.

Pizzazzy

Dad, sporting, what I believe to be, his pizzazzy silk jacket he bought back while serving in Korea.  Circa 1955.

Techie Corner
This picture had a lot of damage, but I got it cleaned up pretty good.  I think he carried it around in his wallet. 

Vivacity

Mom, cheesing for the camera many years ago.

Gelidly

I can hardly believe I talked her into going for a ride that day.  It was October and the weather was brisk.  She was wearing her winter coat, but only sweatpants to keep her legs warm.  You can tell from the look on her face that she was wondering what she'd gotten herself into.

We went for a short ride around the neighborhood and when we returned I asked her if she liked it.  In a screechy voice, she said it was too cold and cold air was blowing on her CROTCH, with extra screechy, wailing emphasis on "crotch." 

Best wishes for a warm crotch to all the mothers on this chilly Mother's Day.
