Visited mom today, got to eat salmon and read the first chapter of Upton Sinclair's the Gnomobile for Eden's children. The 7-year-old seemed to appreciate that. Picked up some photos as well and today we will have a huge Tanja's Mom Picspam!
This would be during her college years in Leningrad.
My mother with the obligatory Bow The Size Of Her Head in her hair. And prety grandmother.
Mom's school portrait featuring her at the tender age of thirteen. Her photos used to hang on the school's wall of fame board of honour. Because she was athletic and a straight A student. I'm so happy I didn't have to socialize with her back then!
Same thing, aged 14.
Same thing aged 15.
Bad Spike Spiegel cosplay. Apparently mom decided to get over with that Bad Perm as early as possible, this is taken sometime in 1979-80.
Mom and her sisters (top photo, left to right Svetlana, Tatjana, Natalya and Vera) stuffing themselves on pancakes and Laima's assorted chocolates.
Svetlana and Andrej. Young and quite keen on each-other.
Once again, mom, dad and a sister of mom's. In Peterhof. Daddy looking all hot.
