This pic really fooled me. It was labelled Naomi but as I looked at the thumbnail I was thinking, "That's not Naomi; that's Joyce." I've never seen Naomi's hair look so dark. When I enlarged the picture I saw my mistake. I always knew Naomi was my child because of the cowlicks in her hair, but I was never quite so sure about Joyce's being her mother. Now I am convinced.
what can I say, your pie look very delicious :), kidding aside. well the close up is good ,clear and good lighting what camera, lens , focal are you using
When I lived here there was a small wooden fencelet right next to the side door. Behind it there was a trash can and apparently the garbage man walked over and picked it up. Oddly, I can't remember ever thinking about garbage back then. The plastic garbage can looks out of place. This is progress?

It is not widely known that these two often travelled undercover as nuns for the CIA. Once, while booking a flight for the both of them, my mother mentioned that they were sisters, even though they had different names. Somehow the airline misunderstood and their tickets read "Sister Maxine Tucker" and "Sister Ivy Mae Rodriguez". They were called "Sister" by the stewardesses and said they rather enjoyed it.

Now that you point it out to me, I guess I can see her as the second from the left. She looks the drunkest.

What a picture! Mike looks positively angelic (in a Damien sort of way) and Bob looks like the spawn of Richard Nixon and Leonid Breshnev!

I'll bet this was taken in front of our room at the Globetrotter Motel in Longview Texas. Every year we'd stop at the same motel in Longview (it had a pool) and we'd get the same room, a suite. Can you imagine riding across Texas in July in that 55 Dodge with no air conditioner? In the mid-90's I drove to Longview and talked to the man running the motel. He said he was the sole owner of the place (now called the Globe Motel) and gave me an envelope with the old Globetrotter logo on it. I wrote Mama a letter in it starting off with, "Dear Mrs. Tucker, it's about time you made restitution for all of the damage sustained by this motel in 1953-1958 by your four little boys. Please..." She got a kick out of it.

In case anyone gets the ghastly idea that the little shrimp in the middle of the picture is me, and that Johnny is towering over me, let me identify the culprits in this picture. Which, by the way, is set in Durango. From left to right: Lillian Somebody - a neighbor on Monterey Street whom I disliked from the first moment I laid eyes on her. One of her little brats. A female. Maxine Tucker Johnny Tucker The other little brat. A male. Other than the height, I must admit it looks like me. Back to camera - a stranger who was not supposed to be in the picture, I think. Bob Tucker Robert Noland, a friend from Shiprock. Thelma and Goode's son.

For better or for worse, I clipped the middle of this picture (see the cut?), neatly snipping out Billy and Kevin Rice, who lived near us on Wall Street.

If that's Mike in the foreground, then the baby is probably me or John. Mike looks about 5 doesn't he? Bob was born three years after Mike and I was born three years after that, with John following the next year. I don't remember my mother ever having other that all-white hair.
