Oldies but Goodies



Today we salute our vivacious and fun loving Aunt Helen. This is really an old picture of her in her youth but still it's Aunt Helen. We had such fun times with her. I associate all the home arts with Aunt Helen. She sewed, she knitted and boy, did she cook. I miss her Koek and whole wheat bread. She was our source of gov't cheese which we appreciated so much. Do you remember her?

  1. I remember! And that picture looks almost exactly like what I remember. Funny that some people change so little over the years. I remember big bricks of cheese, knitted slippers, barbie cakes, and a special wind-up musical figurine I got from her sometime in my youth (a birthday maybe?) that I still keep as one of my favorite childhood treasures.

Thanks Mom for reminding us about the special people in our lives.
