Baltimore – April 5, 1933
Family members pinpointed the date using the posters in the window of the store. My Mom is in the pram, 5 months old. Her sisters are in the center – one of them died after a routine operation a few years later. Tough times, the Depression.

Thanks for sharing, Blogenfreude.
Wow.
What inspired this? Hopefully nothing sad. Does your mom or aunt have more of these photos? I love these sorts of things.
Lovely picture.
@SanFranLefty: My aunt believes Obama is a Muslim and also believes I am not my Mom’s child because I’m adopted. Haven’t spoken to her since 1990. My Mom is fine, just angry that she’s got to go on dialysis.
@blogenfreude: Hugs to Ma Bloggy. Dialysis sucks.
@SanFranLefty: She has been fighting it for years, but it has to happen.
