Kaunas, Lithuania, around 1931. My Mom sits between her parents, Jake and Jadzė. Mom has one of those Eastern European bows in her hair; the bow is hard to see because it is blending into the wallpaper. Jake is wearing the uniform of the Lithuanian Army. His belt is a gold and olive green woven sash clasped with a brass buckle. Mr. Irene wore that belt when he and I folk danced. Mr. Irene also wears Jake's wedding band (and I wear his maternal Grandmother's ring).
