Oui, Sylvain! Très charmant.

Thank you, it's a family treasure. ;-)

Superbe portrait !!!

Thank you!

A fine looking lady.............and a lovely photo Diane. I like the way you've framed it.

I'm sorry to hear about your locomotion problems Diane, I hope you get better soon. In the meantime, here's a little something to practice to: www.google.com/search?q=locomotion+song&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b :-)

HA! I don't think I'll be dancing to that anytime soon, Keith. Fine looking, I agree. I only remember a tiny bit of her before she died. I think I was probably five or so.

Had to laugh at Keith's choice of song. A bit cheeky, but at least it's a very cheerful ditty!!
Your great grandmother was probably born then in 1879, the same year as my great grandfather who was a big influence on me in my teens (He died in 1976).

I suppose so, it's just a guess for the date above. Mom isn't certain of her age here. I didn't know her for long, in fact only remember one exchange. She was sitting up in bed recovering from a stroke and tried to teach me how to play a card game. (I still can't play cards!) Mom was raised by her grandmother, as her mother was away teaching most of the time. Thank you, Andy!

Muy lindo retrato !!!
Gracias por publicar en "Regards"

De nada, Karp Panda! Saludos desde Oregon, USA!

A lovely portrait. It's so good to have family history such as this.

Thank you, yes I think it adds a lot of perspective about where we came from.

A wonderful photo! It almost looks a bit three-dimensional!
