Mama and Papa



After reading Dottie's blog of Day Wasted and saw the photograph of her parents.How wonderful they looked.
So this inspired me to put my ma and pa on my blog.
In honor of my mother on Mothers Day.
Dottie was talking about the hair as for me here is the hats.
My Pa had this straw hat that he worn most of the time.
My Ma has her usual black hat and outfit.
Now I am not sure and still have not find out if this is the wedding picture or something else.
I study the photograph.
PA looks happy and had a soft smile to his face.
My mother for some reason had sadness in her eyes.
Almost teary.
Keep in mind Italian women in those days always dressed in black.I cannot remember if she ever had a color house dress or not.
I loved the style of the had.
Noticed the necktie on my father sort of unkempt.
I do not think this is the wedding picture or it may have been.
Maybe they were very proud being in America.
I still continued to study this and try to get the feelings of their expression.
So class,what do you think and what can you come up with.
Now,I am thinking,this cannot be the wedding picture.
They looked much older there.
They were in their young ages when they came to America.
Born outside of Naples,Italy.
A village or town name "Mellizano"we have been there twice as still had my cousins there.
Not sure that she is still around,but the new generation is.
We had a wonderful time.
Oh!getting away from the subject.
I cannot figured out the ages there.
Nonetheless,I cherished this photo and the only one that we have.
I love to hear your comments on this.
May helped me some.
Thank you and again to all mothers greetings.

I have old photos of my parents together, perhaps this was taken at an event? Like a wedding of a family member?

Yes,she does.The only think that I can say maybe this was my older sister wedding?this I am not sure but the thing that bothers me why the black outfit.?I know most of the Italian women wear black most of the time.

Fredo, you look so much like your mother. It is a wonderful photo but
I don't think a wedding picture. I don't believe she would have worn black
for a wedding.
comment by elderjane on May 7, 2011 8:10 AM ()
she always wore black that I can remember.The whole family,the aunts also wore black.Jut weird or maybe their custom back home?
reply by fredo on May 7, 2011 1:07 PM ()
I'm no analyst, but your father looks content, your mother worried. She's probably concerned about little Alfredo, her problem child! I can't believe it's the only early photo you have of them.

Randy,I am not sure that I was born then.I am the ninth child.
So it could not be me.

This is still a really amazing picture of your parents. Thank you so much for sharing!
comment by lunarhunk on May 6, 2011 6:55 PM ()
Yes,this is one of my favorites.or the only one that I have.
reply by fredo on May 7, 2011 1:09 PM ()
Don't think this was wedding photo. Hard to know what your mom is thinking. She seems wistful. Lovely to honor your parents this way. I am photo challenged these days or I would do the same. Happy Mother's Day to all our Moms. Mine gave me the best of herself.

As for me I know that this was not a very happy marriage.
Remember as you know in those days men rules
