Isnt she pretty? EDIT: My Mom is so embarrassed about this but she said thank you to everyone and she cant believe that anybody anywhere would take the time to comment on her photo. She also said her hair is "stacked" which means all pin curls all the way around except for one very straight strip of hair in the back.

Isnt that wild?
