Thanks for sharing. What a nice tribute. It's also interesting to see the similarities between your mom and Bekah in their faces.

The family is gathering this week to catch up with each other, and to remember my mother, Allene Robson, who died May 31. Here's a representative sample of the group, including Mom (in the light blue sweatshirt), at a previous August gathering: We drove and flew and got here any way we could,...
Thanks for sharing. I just made my contribution. One of my first sweaters was a Penny Straker - a cabled crew neck - for a boyfriend. I didn't find it on their website, so I suspect it is OOP. I was dumped by the guy before I finished the sweater. So, Dad ended up the proud owner.

I've had a pretty bad case of wonderlust lately. I do hope you can make this trip - at least I could live vicariously;-) For funding, would you be opposed to setting up a PayPal donation system? Seems that $5 or $10 here or there from folks who would like to help could really add up.

British Isles 2013?
___ I apologize in advance if I'm not very responsive right now. The hard drive (six months old) on my computer (4+ years old) died completely on Friday, which explains the computer's increasingly balky behavior. The drive is under warranty, but at the moment the computer is best suited for use a...
