Leave it to me to locate photos you haven't seen, and probably would prefer not to, but well....I came across the latest, dealing with mom. My relationship with her doesn't really matter, insofar as I'm not trying to be mailicious here, just airing a few I found....well, amusing, frankly. First of all, it's difficult to get my head around the idea of my mother being the one to essentially defend the family honor, but she did her part, big as life.


Mom (in the graduation gown,) and her sister Lucy (in the bikini top and cap.) Yeah.

No, they weren't real refugees, as the back of this photo claims, just kinda babushka-lookin'.

And this.....I cannot figure out for the life of me what to make of a bunch of young people, hanging out with a nun like she's their tailgating buddy. Bratwurst, anyone?
