Happy Birthday to my mother-in-law, Dena.
A lady never tells her age, so I won’t divulge it here, but I will share this photo of her as a teenager, which never fails to make me smile.
I don’t know exactly how old she is here (Basil thinks she may be 16 or 17, as old as Catherine is now), or who she is smiling at, but I love all the details — Halter top! Heels. (Do you see the laundry on the line behind her?).
Join me in sending her some happy birthday wishes.




Happy Birthday! What a beautiful picture!
