I especially like the first one of your grandmother which is much more lively than similar mother and child photos of that era.<br />But I can't help noticing the swastika cap emblem in your mother's high school photo. You don't see that very much in American photos, so what's the story there?Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-85949885666241822842017-05-15T09:07:45.665-04:002017-05-15T09:07:45.665-04:00Thanks Wendy!

Your mother was lovely, and I laughed too at your remark about be able to see your hip bones in that picture. For too many of us, I'm afraid, those were long ago days with great memories we can cherish, but no longer look exactly like. :) Oh well.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-89943497673703494322017-05-14T13:41:52.825-04:002017-05-14T13:41:52.825-04:00Happy Mother's day to you.
