Nanny's necklace

Not only is Z's first necklace (random Mardi Gras beads excepted) a family heirloom, it came from my mom to her in its original 1950's box along with a note describing how Nanny wore it when she was about Z's age.


And thanks to my mom's dedicated scanning of old photos, I have this picture of my mom with my grandparents at about age 5. Check out the hot pants on Grandma Lorraine!
