This shy little girl is my mother, Jessie. She grew she grew up in Lemhi County, Idaho, and this photo and these words are from her journal. She didn’t date the journal entry, but I believe it is from the 1980’s.
“My hair was brown, and my eyes, green and I was small for my age, always, and have always been slender. This picture was taken in the front yard, at the Matlock Ranch where I was born and lived until I was 13. The parasol was my pride at that time, and I just had to have my picture taken, to show it off!”
