Productively


I haven't found the negative for this one to see if I can get a better print, but I'm blogging it anyway because it's a good example of what an office job looked like in 1963.  It appears mom was doing some transcription in this action shot, with that dictaphone headset hanging off her ears.  

Typewriter, Rolodex, pop-up address book, rotary phone – you just don't see this stuff anymore.

Ironically, according to mom's photo album, this was a "before" shot of her workplace before it was remodeled. The "after" shots still look just as dated, of course.

Terminally


Looking through mom's old negatives, I found this gem.  A historical shot of Wold-Chamberlain Field aka Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, circa 1950.

Puzzledly


 I don't recall seeing these pictures of my mom before.  She does have a pretty puzzled look on her face, so maybe she didn't like the pictures.  Luckily, she kept the negatives, so I get to see them anyway.

Multifariously


 A little sassy and a little sweet for Throwback Thursday.

Endearingly


 A nice pic of mom and dad.  I'm guessing this was an Easter pic.  Mom looks so cute in her sundress.
