Wedding dress
LaVerne, at 19 years old, in her wedding finery. She still fit in her dress at her 50th wedding anniversary, but we couldn't talk her into wearing it because it was old and she always wanted to be up to date and stylish.

Homemaking advice
I always wanted to be more like Mom. This is what I wrote down after asking for her advice about being a better homemaker. It is a list of daily, weekly and monthly tasks. Wish I followed it better.
