Mothers

“There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.” - Jill Churchill. This blog entry is dedicated to Mother's and their daughters.  

Karen with Kelsey enjoying some ice cream

Cut !!!  My Mom and her mother looking like two directors on a movie set. 

Pretty sure this is moving into Ohio State.  Also pretty sure I was not as dressed up when I moved into ASU

Karen and her Mom on the way to her brother's wedding in Oklahoma.  Her mom's first plane trip.

Mom and Dede.   Wonder if Mom bought that coat for warmth or fashion.

The Kuhn girls looking very stylish.  Right before taking the picture the photographer must have said "look in three different directions"

Out international jet setters.

Kathy looknig very 80's

"Umm that's great Mom but I wanted a Barbie"

Mom looks like she is waiting for a push

As a youngster, I would use pedal power to get around the mean streets of Belmont and even ride my one-speed into Boston at an age that would now draw the attention of child protection services.  I spent my 4+ years at ASU getting around on my Schwinn.  I still enjoy biking around Natick on the weekends.  Here are a collection of photos focused on bikes.

Kathy and Dede - part of the Totten Pond Road Outlaws biker gang

Those are ghosts tied to the handlebars to ward off evil spirits.    That helmet would only protect Kelsey if she  fell directly on the crown of her head..

Kelsey waiting for somebody to drive her around (foreshadowing her teen years) 

Sure his feet can't touch the ground - what is the worst thing that can happen

From that face I think she just ran over Dede

"I don't care how cold it is ... go outside and ride " - Mom

Those handle bars are coming back in style any day now

The last known picture of Jake on a bike. 

I snapped this on recent trip to the Netherlands (Maastricht).  Everybody rides bikes there... it is awesome.
