Recently someone posted on our family website a photo of my Gramma (dad's mom) taken in 1910 when she was 12. I felt exactly as I did when I saw the photo of her at 17 - just like looking in a mirror. (Also, what is up with that bow!) I think the photos are big so behind a cut....
Gramma Lottie B. around age 12:
I couldn't find one of 12-year-old me on our family site so had to use 9-year-old me:
And just to show that I am my father's daughter, dad around age 12 (check out all that thick hair!):
Unlike my dad, I did not thin out as I grew older. *sigh* I still have a lot of hair though!
