Even though this photo is in bad shape I have it framed and love passing by it each day.
It was taken through the window at Grandma Leona's house, December 26, 1975. I'd gotten ice skates for Christmas that year and the sidewalks at Grandma's were icy enough for me to clomp along.
The living room was full of the people that I loved the most - Mom, Grandma, Aunt Rita and my siblings. I was feeling stylish in my fancy embroidered coat, I'd just learned to knot the scarf I'd also gotten for Christmas and Grandma had tied her chiffon scarf around my head.
When I was outside I pretended like I was on stage performing for the audience inside. I remember been happy as can be and feeling loved and smart and beautiful.
Aunt Rita wrote on the back of the photo:
Christmas, 1975

Very touching post. Loving your family is easily your most endearing trait.
You're still loved, smart and beautiful. Life is good Nora.
