Thanksgiving Day 2014

 

My Mom & Aunt Helen joined us for Thanksgiving.

 

Below is a pic of them by the circa ~1917 Victrola that - according to the them - was from the Raykovitz family homestead on S. Meade Street. The wooden cabinet is in exceptional shape and the hand-cranked turntable still works.

 

Perhaps some day I'll put on a needle and see if the entire unit still works.

 

 

 

One Last Visit

 

The pic below is of my Mom - Mary Barbara (Raykovitz) Williams (right) & Aunt Helen (Raykovitz) Bolacker  - standing in the house they were born in one last time before it was sold in early October.

 

It was well worth the effort getting them there. The globe with the yellow roses and the small mirrored shadow box on the wall behind them graced those same spots over 60 years ago.

 

More in a future post.
