It sure looks like one of those antique photos---does it not?
Maybe you can tweek it a bit in Photo Shop re the side-lighting.....

Did you see that lighter, rectangular "thing" on the right??
That is part of a baby carriage--and, I bet, my youngest sister, Valda, is in it....

We share birthdays....March 5th. SO! This was taken in June---so she must be
about 2 months old.....My Mom and Dad also shared B-Days---April 8th. ODD!!!

The sad part is that our father died at 36 of Lymph Cancer. Which would have been in 1939 as well.
widowing our Mom at 33. Three young children--a Grandmother, the occupation years
coming on--We all just fled our country and became refugees for the next 7 years....
I have NO memory of my Dad at all--as I was just 2 1/2yrs. old....So sad!!!

If you want a companion picture to the one of me--here it is.
This is still me-on the left--and my older sister, Liga, taken the same day. By the same bed.....

Do you just like old photos--or is it just because you know me?????
I have many. many, mny old photos!!!!!
