Ruth's Album
Elizabeth, Janet [sisters] and [baby] Ruth.
Look at how beautiful JLB is !
I never thought of my Grandmother as beautiful. She was just Grandma. In this picture I see the vibrant beauty that she possessed. It is evident that she and her sister were close. Elizabeth was a teacher who never married. After Grandma's husband died, she and Elizabeth shared a house for the next almost 50 years. Neither of them drove a car. They both lived to be over 100 years old.
One of my favorite pictures of my grandmother and my mother as an infant.

“We are all a complete mixture; yet at the same time, we are all related. Each gene can trace its own journey to a different common ancestor. This is a quite extraordinary legacy that we all have inherited from the people who lived before us. Our genes did not just appear when we were born. They have been carried to us by millions of individual lives over thousands of generations.”
— Bryan Sykes, a former Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Oxford and a current Fellow of Wolfson College, The Seven Daughters of Eve: The Science That Reveals Our Genetic Ancestry, 2001 (via amiquote)
