  2. Your mother was lucky to have such nice photos taken and saved. Today we take hundreds of photos of our children or grandchildren, but in those days...

Vim deixar meu abraço pelo dia das mães e encontro esta belíssima homenagem, com fotos tão significativas. Que você tenha curtido bastante o seu dia com a linda filha. Beijos.

  13. Sonia, curiosamente seu público(visitas) em Inglês é três vêzes maior do que o em Português. Vamos reverter essa proporção.Nada contra, mas fazer sucesso lá, já é meio caminho para a fama aqui! hahaha! Bjs e Parabéns!

  20. Such beautiful memories!
    I took my children to Salzburg, for a surprise mother's day lunch with my mother. We spent a wonderful day together.
    My own daughter made a mother's day tribute on her blog,
    This Window. Moved me to tears.

  22. These are such lovely photos, Sonia. How fortunate you are to have them. Much of my family's photos and records were unfortunately destroyed in England during WWII. I hope you had a very Happy Mother's day yourself. You have such beautiful children.

  30. I LOVE that you have so very many wonderful "old" pictures...What a fantastic legacy to hand down from one generation to another....And they are in such good shape! Some people have no pictures and others very few. You have a "treasure trove"...! WONDERFUL!
