Grandmother

Here are a few pics of my grandmother.  These surprise me because my whole life my grandmother was your typical Italian grandmother who wore her "duster" all the time, cooked in the basement (for EVERYONE, you always went right to the basement, passing the good room with the plastic covered furniture), never drove a car, worked outside the house and worked VERY hard for her family.  The suprise is how beautiful and dressed up she is in these photos.  These were DEFINITELY special occasions.
