30. My mom

Fri Jan 29, 2016, 08:06 PM

Jan 2016

Her mom, her dad, their parents -were not.

I also on her fathers side? Was the only great granddaughter as my mom was the only grand daughter with only uncles.
That kind of worked out well for me!

My mom's parents and paternal grandparents were mixed coouples too.

Lutheran marries Jewish girl in the late teens nd converts.

Thir son marries a Methodist girl in 1945 - and converts. . They "got" things.

My mom was books and art and crafts. My dad was adventure and sports and stars. We got a lot of hugs.

I had a really good family!
