A lovely part of being back in my hometown with my mom means going through old photos, artifacts, & mementos. This will be a running thread of all the items I find as I move about the house over the weeks, etc. - both as a way of sharing but also a historical capture for myself.
My mom Isabella & her goddaughter Felecia.
Mom’s commemorative Obama plate. 
My grandmother, Stella. Quick fact: My mom & dad had me when they were 40 & 55 - both having lost their parents many years prior. So I've never actually met any grandparent.
Happy Mother’s Day to my own beautiful mother. Love to all the many generations of moms, mother figures, & caretakers who create & nurture family - no matter how that unit may look or of who that unit may be comprised. 
Antique brooch & pocket watch. Both from my paternal grandparents. My father was 55 when I was born so I never met them.
