While I was in Seattle I was lucky enough to stumble upon a few photo's of my grandma and grandpa on my dad's side of the family, as well as, a senior photo of my Dad from 1972. My heart stopped at the sight of my grandparents when they were younger. My grandma had such an elegance and natural beauty to her that I feel is really captured in these few photographs and my grandpa was absolutely handsome. Though I don't think I say it enough, I've always really admired them deeply. Sadly my grandma passed away a few years ago and I'm always sadden by the fact that I didn't get to know her better, especially in my older years. I still have the blanket she made for me when I was born and even brought it with me when I moved to San Francisco; I'm always comforted by it. Anyway, I just want to dedicate this post to them and to my father as a late Father's Day tribute. I love you!

Kim-I completely agree with you about old photographs. They are so inspiring and romantic to me. You can tell they've really captured a moment. And I feel your pain on the liver situation. I went on vacation for 2 weeks and definitely had a little too much..I think I'll be paying for it for a little while now
