Nana took one last look at her scrapbook and closed it up again, as her grandchildren came into the room. They begged her to look at it, but she refused, as always. She told them that they would only be disappointed, that this was just her childhood, more ordinary than theirs.

What they didn't know was that there was not a single photograph in this "chapbook," just pages and pages of formulae and diagrams. Nobody would ever think to look for it here...


PURE GENIUS! I laughed...

In all seriousness though, your mother is precious. This is really nostalgic to me and the memory of my own beautiful Grandmother... Would love to see this cropped closer to the top of her head to avoid noticing the wrinkles in the backdrop, as well as less of the arm of the chair, right about the area where the blue under the book is showing...

Beautiful and genuine. Would like to have seen better focus on her hand.

There is a lot of space in this picture. A landscape crop might have worked more
