Ordinary


 I love this sentence:


“My mom could make an ordinary afternoon an event.”

This quote was from Lisa Jo Baker on A Holy Experience in July.
She grew up in South Africa.  Here is her blog

My mom here in this photo with  the oldest of what turned out to be 8 ( by 1961 when my youngest brother Jimmy was born).   This is September,  1955 as he went off  to Mount Hermon Prep School in Mass.  from Long Island, NY.
I had been born in May. Actually, my mom had twins( I have a twin brother) as #5 and #6. 





  
            

          My sister in law who married the guy in the photo above when he was 35 , my mom, me in the big glasses, and my youngest brother Jimmy.
