see this old family photo from the early 70s? this is the way i remember my family, my mom & dad & brother & older sisters, i'm the quirky one down there on the left ;) ~
i'm departing from the toy & book routine for today because yesterday i lost my mom ~
my mom loved taking photos of everyone & so appeared in few of them herself ~
everyone loved her & she was the friendliest person you could ever meet ~
she grew up here in old portland & loved it so, told us so many stories & always wanted to come back here ~
as it turned out i was the one to eventually make the move here with my portland native hubby ~
i'd send her photos & home movies so she could remember all the old places she missed ~
she loved to sing & she loved pasta & cats, & she passed along her love of old movies to me ~
now she's with my dad who passed last summer ~
elaine (last picture) ~
love you, mom..
