 The first picture of me and mom together. I still have the afghan she's sitting on there, my great-grandmother made it for my mom. |
 My first birthday party. Looking at pictures from the era of her life, my mom was always angry that she's wasted some of the prettoest years of her life trying deliberately to look bad and be a hippie! |
 Here we are in San Francisco when I was 3, and she was 29. |
 A professional portrait taken in 1974. |
 Mom took up belly dancing as a hobby when I was little, and eventually taught some classes in it as well. |
 At my 5th birthday party in 1976. |
