Let's take a snapshot for Tatjana.

Kaunas, Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic, June 1958. Friends of my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana, send her a "We miss you" photo.

Old Friends

Kaunas, Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic, June 1958. This photo turned up in the new batch of images my Kaunas Cousin. Kaunas Cousin's maternal Grandmother, Suzanne, stands in the back, just right of the center. I think this photo was taken the same day as the snapshot my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana, received—likely from Suzanne.

Consider how our perception of aging changes as we grow older. These women were of Tatjana's generation, so most of them—probably with the exception of the woman on the far left—here would have been in their late fifties or early sixties.

Thanks to my Kaunas Cousin for making this photo available to us.

Sunday Gathering

We wish you were here.

Kaunas, Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic, June 1958. A group of my paternal Grandmother Tatjana's friends gather to celebrate a Name Day. In Lithuania, like in other Eastern European countries, people ignore birthdays and instead make a holiday out of Name Days. The friend of Tatjana who sent this snapshot wrote on the back of the photo, "You'll recognize many faces here."
