I can't stop laughing!

So on a fluke, I found this blog that has ONLY old old photos, in which the woman's goal is to find the long lost relatives and return these photos to the families.  Now, for some reason, I absolutely LOVE to look at old pictures!  I love to see what people wore way back when, how the women styled their hair....and the babies!  Oh the babies!  Little boys in dresses....just too cute!
Anyway, I'm browsing through all these photos and thoroughly enjoying myself and I came across this:

 This is a Christmas family picture from 1943.(Edit: There isn't even a Christmas Tree! NO decorations whatsoever!)  Look closely...double click on the picture and look very closely.  See the "mom" on the left in the chair?  Who does she look like???   That's right!  ME!  OMG...That has got to be me in a past life.  Kinda creepy, but more than that - it is too freaking funny!  Now, if you want to get technical, this woman could really be my Mom, My Grandma, or any one of her sisters! What an uncanny resemblance  of the Rydquist side of my family!  Because I saw it, I am going to stick with the fact that that woman looks just like me!!

Isn't that just too funny?    About 15 years ago, when I lived in Iowa, someone gave me an Omaha World Herald newspaper with a colored picture of some lifeguards at a local pool that they interviewed.  One of them was the spitting image of me!  It was creepy too!  We had that photo hanging in our garage for years and I looked at it all the time!  (It may even still be there, who knows?)

They say there is a twin for everyone.  Well, I think I have triplets!
