Another Sunday Promenade

It's almost time for the Sunday passeggiata!

Put on your best outfit and take a stroll:


Schweinfurt, Germany, 1949. My Parents, third and fourth from the left, take a walk around the DP camp with friends. The gentleman on the far left later became my Godfather. Mom is wearing the fair-isle knitted mittens that my Dad gave her as part of a wedding gift. Mom still has the mittens. There was a knitted scarf that matched the mittens, but Mom believes she left the scarf behind in Germany when they emigrated to the States.

That is so touching: knitted mittens. It's no wonder I miss Dad so much.

UPDATE (1): That's barbed wire.

UPDATE (2): We found the mittens.
