Nosing about in every drawer and cupboard, can't
resist the temptation. Went to my mom yesterday
evening to stay for the week-end.
While she was looking at her favourite
programs on tele, i was watching the family albums.
This photo's one of my favourites, it was made just
before the war. My mom is standing on the left,
(: she's still in the posession of her 'Pinokkio Legs' :)
and seems to be the only one having fun, the rest
of the family looks pretty cranky. The baby on
my grandmother's lap is going to be a nun at the
age of sixtien, the whole family was against,
but she got her way. The benjamin of the family
had to be born yet, my uncle Don.
My mom's hobby room.
This sock was knitted by my grandmother and
made from leftovers.
They used to put all kinds of sweeties and
nicknackery in it as a Christmas or Santa
Claus present.
One of mom's countless patchworks, i definitely
got the 'Virus' from her.
Reflexion in the tele of J, making Old America
squares with my mother.
hihi die beentjes :) mooi verhaaltje!

I must join in and congratulate you on a wonderful post! I too love old family photos. The sock your grandma knit looks so nice, I think I recognize your color palette a little in it? Great colors they are.
