Photoessay #1105 - Connecticut long ago



57 years ago....my grandmother Regina, myself aged 1 (maybe) and my mother Claire on a visit 'home' for my mom. At the Norton Avenue house.

I always associated those kinds of shoes with grandmothers. Heavy leather laceup shoes. My grandmother always wore them. Relatively recently, I realized that all grandmothers do not wear them.

But a proud mother and grandmother. My mom's pretty cute after having a baby and all.

From a group of pictures I got from my cousin on the Connecticut trip. That I'm supposed to send back.

Second shot is the Norton Avenue house today. Late in their life, they were able to buy this small bungalow, not sure how. This was the house that I visited as a child
