Tickle Fest Mom and Me 1961ish Hi Res 16x20

Tickle Fest Mom and Me 1961ish Hi Res 16x20, originally uploaded by VancouverDoug.

Here's a shot, compliments of Dad and taken around 1961, of Mom tickling me to hysterics. She was good at that. :)

This would have been while we lived in New Brunswick, the province of my birth, and right before we headed off to West Germany. Deep in our civilizations period of thermonuclear stalemate that our generation 'affectionately' referred to as MAD - Mutual Assured Destruction. A year or so before the Cuban missile crisis.

I love this shot and can't help but smile each time I look at it. Pure love. :)
