Happy Mother's Day to all you Wrigley-Mothers!

May Your Day be as special are you all are.

Ah the days of hand painted black and white pictures. Any idea how old Bernice Marjorie Parsons Wrigley (aka Penny Grandma) was when this was taken?

Marjorie?! I thought it was Mary!

Nope, Marjorie it was (spelling could be wrong - but I am sure Auntie will correct that). Mary was our Father's (aka Dollar Grand Pa) Mother's name. Actually, Marjorie was her first name (as I recall) but she did not like it so she used her middle name. A bit of trivia from the Wrigleys. :o)

Wow -- Kenny is 100% correct!
Mrjorie Bernice Parsons -- and, yes she didn't like Majorie and just up and changed it to Bernice. I think she like the fact that Bernice contained the word 'nice' =)
As for the date of the picture -- I don't know. It's a framed 5x8 picture. I'll see if there happens to be a date on the back. Stay tuned.
Note: her mother was 'Marguerite'.

Opps...I meant:
Marjorie -- not Mrjorie, of course.

The back of the pictures just has, handwritten, "SM 18".
Santa Monica, age 18?
