Tickled pink! ...fargo photographer

A week ago, my brother and his family was here to help me with my mothers estate. He found this in her things.... my first camera! I had no idea that she still had it! I used to line up my dolls and stuffed animals on the front step and take their pictures. They were so random...guess I haven't changed much.


It was a roller-coaster of emotions... fun memories, tears, frustrations at wanting to ask her a hundred questions. "Where did this come from? tell me all the stories about everything, I didn't pay enough attention the first time and I don't remember some things" There is one I remember well... I have been wearing her gold cuff bracelet. It was my grandmother Helen's. I was an infant when she passed away, but I remember my mom telling me how my father used it for a teething ring when he was a baby in 1921! As a new grandmother myself, it gives me a warm feeling to have it around my wrist. ... or ... was that just a hot flash?
