Happy Birthday, Mom!

I love my mom so much. She has been so great in explaining our histories again and again, giving me pictures to scan, and is generally a good sport about most everything.

Ana, 1954, this is the pic that Ruth Stemm based a watercolor on

Ana in Pennsylvania, around 1951

Sometimes, I feel that I'm nothing like my mother. Then, I'll see a photo (like the one directly above) of her and see my own face looking back.  Sometimes, I feel I'm never so like her as when I'm at my most graceful.

Thanks for being my mom and thanks for helping with this genealogy stuff!
