Alrighty. It’s supposed to be wordless wed. and all that but this pic I have to tell the story about. The girl on the left is My mom in 1978, and the girl on the right is???? we don’t know who she is.
so how did I come up with a picture that so remarkably resembles her and not know who she is?
One night when I was going to Appalachian State University, My friend Rebecca and I were in the Wendy’s restraunt right up from the school. The Wendy’s up there (boone, nc) has an upstairs. I had ate up there a few times, just cause it’s cool you know? but alot of times when I ate there I would eat downstairs because upstairs was so popular and full
Anyways we had went in there to use the bathroom, not eat, and we went to the bathroom upstairs (I know..it has a bathroom upstairs too how cool right??)I was looking at all the random pictures on the wall and all of a sudden I just had this weird feeling. I turn around and I see a picture of the Appalachian State Teaching College (app’s old name) from like 1918. The original picture is a group shot. The girl in the middle popped right out at me! I was like HOLY CRAP!!!
When Rebecca Came out of the bathroom i was like…umm….look at this picture…and see if anything is weird about it? she points right at the girl and is like OMG that looks like your mom!
My ex’s Tim & Mark both agreed. I didn’t have a camera phone, or a digital camera at that point. When my mom finally came up to visit I was like o.k. we’re gonna go check this out. I never even pointed it out ..Just made her look around. she found it almost instantly. We ate our lunch right at the table underneath the pic. I knew it gives her the creeps…ha ha
(side note mom also has a very unusual name INIS (say it with the I..like you would Iris) She even found a grave in her geneaology searches for a baby in the 20’s with her EXACT SAME NAME!)
When david and I were up in boone last summer, I took him to see the pic. And this time I took a picture of it so we can show everyone else.
We have NO idea who the girl is, but somehow another she has to be related. We have never heard of anyone in the family who went away to school or anything like that. … however we are looking into it. We are investigating it, and when we do find something out i’ll post back and let you all know.
so what are your all’s thoughts? does it look like my mom? is it creepy? lol
