Family History

So for my Arabic class this week, we have to bring in family photos and give a presentation about our family to the class. I wanted to find some pictures of family members, so I went looking through my Aunt's facebook profile and realized she had recently posted pictures of my grandmother who died in February of 2008. These are photographs I have never seen before, and show her a young, beautiful woman! It's been awesome looking through these and seeing her in her youth; I only knew her in her old age. Here's a sampling:






Isn't she beautiful? Looking through these made me smile and think of a lot of great memories (lucky charms at Grandmas (bc my mom would never buy them!), sledding, watching her work in the garden, playing cards, driving around in her car, taking the French Nuns grocery shopping and being mortified when they would go up to everyone and ask "are you baptized?" in the grocery store - these nuns were nuts!). Anyway, what a great find!
