Chicago-....my people..., my grandma's service at the Bohemian Cemetery and the Bean... (google it!)

 

Aunt Anne!!!

 I love them all...

 

Smauz or Smaus as we say now...

 

Mom's childhood home...sort of..

They lived here when my mom was a jr and sr in high school.... I loved hearing my mom reminisce and be so excited to share her childhood memories with us...

Her school: American School of Paris -she could tell them stuff they didn't even know about the place when they were touring us around!

More Paris...

Sort of sad... all the "selfies" and cell phone shots against the classic Mona Lisa......

omg we went to PaRIS....

My mother=camera shy, fluent in French, has a passion for Paris and is moving out here from Boston to be with family (us!).... took us to Paris for a second trip of a lifetime..... we LOVED it... the memories she is creating with her kids and grandkids-BRILLIANT....these are cell phone shots....
