My 90 year old mother has a small health problem (just back from hospital) and I will join her for a while, so I’m off to Sweden for a week or two – most probably disconnected from the blogging world!
I guess you are curious to see my old mother? You can see her on these two photos. On this first one, she is number two from the right, singing (or rather smiling), with her father on the violin and the oldest sister (100 years in November) at the piano.
Below, you can see her on the left, listening to the radio, with her mother, two sisters and a brother. (They were 10 kids.)
She has today more or less the same haircut (it was different in between); only the hairs are a bit greyer.
The photos must be from the early 20’s.
See you soon – and keep on blogging!
Being absent for some time, I thought I should give you some reading so I made six posts today, maybe one for each two days’ absence? So, if and when you have the time, please go downwards.

All the best! Hope your mother recovers soon. 90 years, my father's age... but your aunt 100 is incredible isn't it! Hope you all will have a great party that day! Taking into account the family history, you have a great long future ahead of you. Enjoy! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the other posts. Great job! Look forward to seeing you back!

Bon rétablissement à ta maman et bon courage à toi Peter, à bientôt, je t'embrasse.
ReplyDeleteHalsa din mamma. Och krama om henne oksa.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice vacation and say hello to your mother. Abraham Lincoln sends his best wishes.
ReplyDeleteGosh. My genes are not nearly as good as your genes. My relatives were gone in the late 70s and 80s. You got a ways to go Peter.
I enjoyed your photos of your family. Nice to see some things like the ear phones listening to the radio.
I am thinking about taking a break but staying home.
See you when you return.

Hiya Peter...I hope your Mom is well and fine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful picture Peter, family bonding through music absolutely marvellous :D
Dans les yeux de ta maman, je suis sure d'y avoir reconnu les tiens et ceux de Paloma.Malheureusement je n'ai plus beaucoup de vieilles photos, car elles étaient rares à cette époque, mais j'ai les photos de mon arrière grand mère et de maman quand elle était jeune dans ma tête.
ReplyDeletebises.

ReplyDeletesis on piano and dad on violin ... i like!!!
You are doing the most important journey to your mom, I think. I send warm thoughts to both of you.
ReplyDeleteYou are ½ year older than I am, but my mother has died already 1985.So many things stayed over asking or telling.
You can do it in correct way, I know that!
With best wishes, Leena
Wishing you all well, Peter.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a pleasant trip to Sweden, Peter, and that your mother's health improves quickly. I am sure that once she sees you, she will feel better. I love the old family photos, they are precious treasures. And it's interesting to note that your mother is from a musical family.... do you play a musical instrument of any kind?

Give your mother my regards Peter - I hope it is only a small health problem and I would be very grateful if I manage to reach the age of 90 with only small health problems! She looks mischievous and impish in the photos, which are great family documents

ReplyDeleteMy grandma lived to be 96 - and to the last day, she would not start on her dinner without a small shot of vodka!
What's your family's secret of longevity?

ReplyDeleteHiya Peter..just dropping by to see that everything is well & fine.

Hope your mum will be feeling fine. Tell us how she's going when you're back. We miss you. =)
ReplyDeleteThese family pictures are GREAT and lovely; and most of all thye are filled with happiness. They capture so well the atmosphere of these old days and are quite interesting. I love them. Your parents definitively had wonderful ways to entertain themselves with music and first transistor… Thanks for sharing them with us and we hope your mother feels better by now. Our best wishes to her.
ReplyDeleteTake care
J'adore les photos qui reflètent le quotidien d'une époque et celles-ci sont stupéfiantes, la radio est incroyable ! Une famille d'artistes on dirait, ça ne m'étonne pas ;-).
ReplyDeleteJ'espère que la santé de ta mère s'améliore, certainement que la présence de son fils ne pourra lui faire que du bien !
All the best for your mother's health and future! Love the photos because it is a glimpse of a different time. The technology certainly has changed!
ReplyDeleteJe reviens aujourd'hui et tu n'es pas encore rentré.... Je vais suivre ton conseil et y aller doucement avec le blogging.
ReplyDeleteJ'ai mon plus jeune fils à la maison et celà jusqu'à demain, alors je vais en profiter car rien ne vaut l'amour d'une mère pour son enfant
Tu as rendu un bel hommage à celle qui a fait que tu es celui que tu es devenu, qui a su te donner son amour et te laisser partir loin d'elle...
Tu as une bien jolie famille, Peter
J'espère que tu vas bien et que ta Maman va bien...
A bientôt...
