WONDERFUL!
How blessed you are to see what you have seen!

I would want to follow her around all day just to see HOW she would do ordinary things…
Mamma undoubtedly has a blend of REAL and STORYTELLER in her!
I’ll bet her laugh is contagious!
I can picture nightfall, cooking, homemade “hooch”, musica…she probably sings like
Chavela Varas too!
At home with her thanks to your photograph….I am so in love!
