A FAMILY IN 1973

The year was 1973.  We lived on Emerson Street in Fresno.  Jeannette was only 2 years old.  She loved the Raggedy Ann doll and so when we took this picture she insisted on holding her dolly.  It was during the difficult time in my marriage but I managed to put on a smile for the camera.  The reason this picture was taken was because a door to door salesman had knocked on my door and was hoping that I would say yes to a family portrait.  He said he would come back the next day so I said yes.  I wanted to have the picture and put it in a nice frame and on top of the fireplace. 

I am glad I have this picture.  I can see how happy my precious Jeannette was back then.  Also, my beautiful Diana and my handsome son, Daniel.
