I, of course, took some photos back East. Some are of treasures I found, others are of downtown Philly and some were taken at the grocery store in Silver Spring. Some many things not found out here in the West!

| My husband's business card from when we were dating, back in the '70's |

| My grandmother's ivory crochet hook |
 |
| My grandfather's singer sewing machine from 1926. The manual says 1925, so it must have been made at the beginning of 1926. |
 |
| I gave this to my mom many moons ago. |

| City Hall |
 |
| Arch Street in Chinatown |

| My husband used to eat this as a kid. Cooked in the slotted toaster while suspended from a fork. |

| My sister's next door neighbor's car. She's almost 91 and still drives her Chevy Nova! |
We went to a college graduation party while I was back East. The family is originally from Mali. There was a fully roasted and stuffed lamb for the celebration. We all gathered in the kitchen for the unwrapping and serving of the lamb, which was cooked in a traditional Mali way.
The graduate was beautiful. She graduated with 2 degrees, both of them Magna Cum Laude. She left 3 days after her graduation for an internship in Africa with the State Department. Congratulations Aissata and family for a wonderfully warm welcome into your home on this occasion.
