Kaunas,
Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic, 1958. A friend sends this tranquil image to my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana. The woman also appeared, seated,
in the center of this
photo.
Each year, we get a calendar published by a Lithuanian-American newspaper. The calendar designates every day with the name of the saint that is celebrated on that date.
