One you took of John and me posing in front of a Mercedes taxi. The other was of the three of us in that restaurant where we were the only patrons and sat in that curtained booth.

My mother's work is so precise, however, that some people don't believe her sweaters are done by hand. A woman the other night didn't believe; she inspected the underside of the sweater and still didn't believe me. I was proud of my mother's work and offended by the woman at the same time.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-84659455865667689652015-03-20T14:06:55.970+01:002015-03-20T14:06:55.970+01:00Michael:
