Getting Ready
The Boy


  {His birthday was 8 days before. The watch was his present.}

{lucky sixpence wedding cuff links - especially nice
since we had just moved to London}

The sash reminded me of a dress my great
grandmother made for my mother to wear for the
Natchez Spring Pilgrimage when she was little girl}
