Mira was Gramp's and Auntie Tish's mother. I've been meaning to add some pages with the genealogy to show the connections. I always want to dot one more 'i' and cross one more 't' first! Both Mira and her mother Phoebe died of heart disease.

If my great great grandchildren ever come across my old diaries they will equally find them filled in with great detail for the first few days of January and then abandoned after that. It is why I started my blog in November - to avoid the mid-January hiatus. An amazing photograph, a great post.
