three big steamer trunks ...

[sosocheap]

My mother and i spent all of this afternoon pawing through what's left of my grandparent's things...my mom's dolls..old photos, letters, news paper clippings and what not...treasures...
my grandparents grew up on poor.... farmers kids....but they went on to college ...my grandfather went to berkley...my grandmother attended oregon state...they married in their 30's....my grandmother was told she would never concieve due to some kind of kidney disease she'd suffered as a young adult...they were in their early 40's when my mom was born...

they traveled alot before mom came along...my grandfather taught and lectured.....they were a handsome couple.......my grandmother worked her way through college as a part-time print model in the 20's...they seemed to have alot of friends....

i wish i'd known them as an adult...they died when i was a sophomore in highschool...they fascinate me....i love them....

mom:

me:
i could do without the hitler mustache...




me:

mom:

me:

mom:

he always said
she had a beautiful back.
