Grandma's Attic

My Mom had white hair from the time she was 39. It just got more beautiful as she got older, and I loved it. So I just assumed I'd also have white hair.

It just hasn't happened yet, even at age 75. But I am greying somewhat now. All of my siblings have beautiful white hair, and I'm not sure why I got passed up.

When my sister Beth (the youngest and a later in life baby) was in kindergarten, she asked my Mom not to go to things because she was the only kid whose Mom had white hair.

Anyway, last Sunday I was on my way to church and had Dee snap a picture so I could remember what 75 feels like. Actually, not that bad, with white hair or not.
