Mom's Hands
When we went to Connecticut to visit with the Aunts and Cousins, we also went to visit my mom. She was in the hospital for a week with pneumonia, which came on the day after Christmas. She is now in a medical facility for recovery near the hospital, and is doing much better. My mom is 93, and these are her hands. She has had arthritis for a number of years, and both my sisters and I have hints of this, with the last digits of some of our fingers starting to head off at an angle just like Mom's. So here are her hands after 93 years. What's also interesting is that she is reading "The Book of Ruth" and that is my mom's name.

God bless. Beautiful photograph.
This is a wonderful photo and another example of what makes Black & White photography so special!
I love the black & white photo too.

Thank you all, for your comments.
Those hands saw a lot of work through the years - from washing clothes with a wringer washing machine to making a variety of crafts - sewing, knitting, painting, etc. Nice photo. bsk
And don't forget the gingerbread cookies. Great recipe. Please thank your mom for all of us who tried it.
