Looking at the past

I was browsing through some old photos that I had scanned into my computer. This is my late mother, she died in August 2006 in her 93rd year. December 2 this year will mark her 100th birthday. I believe this photo was taken when she was about 18.

 

She had lovely, wavy dark hair, and really beautiful eyebrows! Her hair stayed wavy, but turned white.

My mother's hands were never still: even into very old age she would knit, crochet, and sew. She would also read a lot, and loved crossword puzzles.
