Will turn into little bambies.

I guess I will start with my mother since this is whence I came. I've always loved this photo of her. My mom still sings and makes this same face, something sort of wistful and silly straight out of The Sound of Music, except for her eyes which are so sweet you let her get away with it because you'd feel like an asshole for doing anything otherwise. My mom exudes sweetness. Sometimes I lose sight of it because I am constantly around her and am subject to the less appealing sides of her, but every time I bring someone to meet my mom, they almost instantly like her and their shoulders relax when she starts to talk.

This blog is mostly going to be for posting old pictures I find in my family's huge collection, or pictures I find and think worthy of sharing with the world, not necessarily taken by me or mine.

There might also be some suggested reading or listening, although I won't presume to force that upon anyone. Just suggestions, remember?

 There might be some writing although honestly I feel like I fail miserably at that kind of thing. This kind of thing.
